Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 373 Smuggling
Wudi City, Feng Family.

Six months after their parting, Lin Jing once again stepped into this place.

Unlike before, he was previously accompanied by the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, his protector.

Now, following behind is the old servant who is the first ancient emperor in disguise.

Although the accompanying person's cultivation level decreased, their social status rose sharply.

"I wonder how Senior Lei Long is doing."

Standing before the Feng Mansion, Lin Jing was filled with curiosity.

Previously, when they encountered the Skeleton Emperor, the Sword Immortal Lingyue teleported him and Gao Sheng away, but left the Thunder Dragon Ancestor behind to assist them...

At that time, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor chose to first send the Thunder Dragon Clan's prodigies to a safe place before returning to fight.

The Skeleton Emperor did not object to the Thunder Dragon Ancestor's choice, since its main goal at the time was to seek the Sword Soul of the Dao.

However, after the Thunder Dragon Ancestor sent a group of Thunder Dragon prodigies to the Sun Temple, before he could return, the Skeleton Emperor was forced back by Lin Jing, who was riding a celestial sword.

All that was left was the bewildered Thunder Dragon Ancestor who rushed back later.

"Senior Leilong should have returned to Qingzhou by now. After comprehending the Primordial Sword Intent, it has been wanting to focus on studying it, but it has not had any free time. Now that it has returned, it should be able to cultivate properly."

Lin Jing took out a sword-shaped dragon scale.

Sword intent rippled across the dragon scales.

At that time, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor said he would pass on the Primordial Sword Intent to him, but Lin Jing did not have the energy to learn it, so he thought of letting his pet beast learn it for him.

These Thunder Dragon Scales are the carriers of the Primordial Sword Intent.

"This sword intent is quite good." The first ancient emperor, seeing this, couldn't help but say.

"So, you want to forge this dragon scale into a sword?"

"No, that's not it." Lin Jing retracted the dragon scale and said, "It's just a cultivation tool. Once we return to the ancient kingdom, I'll hand it over to my pet."

"A pet beast learning sword intent??" The first ancient emperor was stunned.

"No problem." Lin Jing nodded. He not only had the mutated Bodhi leaf, but also the water from the Enlightenment Pool to help him learn the Ice Soul Gu.

When the time comes, once he has mastered the Ice Soul Gu, it will be equivalent to him mastering it as well.

As the two were talking, three figures quickly descended upon the Feng family.

They are Feng Yu, the current Kongxuan Patriarch of the Feng family.

Lingyue Sword Immortal Feng Ning.

And the ghost bride Tang Ling.

"I didn't expect you to be back so soon." Feng Ning was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Jing. It had only been half a year since they last parted, and Lin Jing had already taught his pet the Divine Book?

What a great speed.

"His Highness the Holy Son has finally arrived!!"

Ancestor Fengyu also looked on with anticipation, after all, he would soon be able to revive his own ancestor.

"Mm." Tang Ling nodded to Lin Jing, and the others looked at the tortoise perched on the head of the first ancient emperor, understanding that they would have to rely on this little guy next.

“However, this is…” Ancestor Feng Yu looked at the first ancient emperor and frowned. Although this old man was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he still gave him a feeling that made people tremble.

"His name is Turtle Immortal. He has some peculiar abilities. He'll do some odd jobs for me. You don't need to worry about him," Lin Jing said dismissively.

Meanwhile, the first ancient emperor, Master Roshi, was giving Tang Ling a furtive look... Where did this wild ghost come from...?

So, the "unrequited love between a human and a ghost" that Lin Xiaozhi mentioned is because of this female ghost?
Could it be that the Feng family ancestor was her old flame?
The First Emperor's mind raced. The Feng family—he knew them; a weapon-refining family from Martial Emperor City…

This Holy Son of the Demon Court, instead of focusing on cultivation, actually meddles in matters of love and romance, something the First Ancient Emperor never expected.

"This girl is pretty good."

However, in the blink of an eye, the first ancient emperor was attracted by Lingyue Sword Immortal Feng Ning. He was proficient in the art of recognizing talent, and he had used his eyes to discover many talented and promising cultivators to follow him.

It can be said that most of the founding families of the ancient kingdom were not descendants of immortals, but rather, like the first ancient emperor, they came from humble backgrounds.

Now, the first ancient emperor could tell at a glance that the female sword cultivator in front of him definitely had the potential to seek the Dao. Her talent might not be as good as the "Demon Court's Holy Son" in front of him, but she was definitely one of the top in the continent.

"Are you a cultivator from the Feng family or the Heavenly Sword Sect?" He couldn't help but ask, observing the Heavenly Sword Token at the Cold Moon Sword Immortal's waist.

"Hmm?" Feng Ning glanced at the First Ancient Emperor: "I am a cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Good, good, good, I knew it. How could such a prodigy emerge from this small temple of the Feng family? It's good that he's a cultivator from an ancient kingdom." The first ancient emperor laughed heartily, causing the old ancestor Feng Yu beside him to turn pale, with black lines running down his face.

This Nascent Soul brat, he always brings up the most sensitive topics.

If it weren't for the fact that he was following the Holy Son of the Demon Court, the Feng family patriarch would have slapped him away right now.

However, to the surprise of the Feng family patriarch, the Holy Son of the Demon Court did not react at all to the Nascent Soul child's rude behavior. He couldn't help but wonder what the old man's background was.

It may not be as simple as it seems.

"By the way, is the dragon vein ready?" Lin Jing asked. "The Feng family seems to have been sharing a super dragon vein with Martial Emperor City. They definitely can't use this one when using the Divine Book, as it would provoke opposition from the City Lord's Mansion and other families."

The patriarch of the Feng family chuckled and said, "Holy Son, please rest assured, I have naturally prepared everything."

"Dragon veins are extremely rare, and most of them are monopolized by ancient kingdoms. Even the most common ones are not easy to obtain..."

"However, a few days ago, I asked a friend from the ancient kingdom to smuggle two dragon veins from there. That should be enough!"

"Damn it!" The first ancient emperor exclaimed, "Smuggling dragon veins is a capital offense!"

Spiritual veins only provide spiritual energy.

In addition to providing spiritual energy, the dragon vein also provides fortune!

Naturally rare and precious.

"No need to worry!" Ancestor Fengyu looked at the old man who was making a fuss over nothing with displeasure. It was more like he was explaining to Lin Jing than to him.

"This kind of thing is very common and has formed a secret transaction chain that is almost impossible to expose!"

"Moreover, even if we are exposed, the ancient kingdom can't do anything to us. They will only punish the ancient kingdom cultivators who led the transaction. All the risks have been borne by the other party! However, we have also paid a price that is several times higher than the value of these dragon veins!"

"I see, I see." The first ancient emperor said sarcastically, "Senior, I also really want to get a dragon vein for my family, just the most ordinary one. I wonder if you could tell me from which ancient country's cultivators I can buy a dragon vein?"

Ancestor Fengyu glanced at Lin Jing.

Looking up at the sky from the forest.

"This holy son also wishes to buy a few; please tell us."

"It's the Sect Management Office. What we bought are basically the spiritual energy dragon veins of branches of sects that have been sealed off... If Your Highness is interested, I will give you that person's contact information then..."

"Just leave it to Master Roshi." Lin Jing nodded. The Sect Management Office, huh? Well, they'd better pray for themselves and die a good death.
