Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 394 The Fifth Pet

After discussion, the second-generation ancient emperor decided to use his great power to change the rules of the Fortune Ranking.

Just as the Lord of the Demon Court was about to send Lin Jing away temporarily, Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, then quickly sent a telepathic message to the Demon Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Second Generation Ancient Emperor promised that I would not challenge the top-tier cultivation dragon vein gifted by the Ancient Prince, but he hasn't given it to me yet."

"Haven't you given it yet?" the Demon Emperor questioned the Second Generation Ancient Emperor.

The second-generation ancient emperor remained silent for a moment before saying, "Extracting a top-tier cultivation dragon vein will cause considerable damage to the nation's fortune and requires extremely careful handling. I promise that the dragon vein will be delivered within six months."

"As for the Immortal Body Manual of the True Dragon Secret Technique, it can only be handed over before he enters the Origin Realm after the ten-year period is over."

The second-generation ancient emperor was worried that the demon court would change its mind at the last minute after obtaining the immortal body manual ahead of time, and instead compete with the ancient prince and princess for the world's fortune in order to cultivate this immortal body.

It doesn't matter if the ancient princes and princesses cultivate immortal bodies and enter the Origin Realm before handing over the secret manual to Lin Jing.

By then, two immortal bodies would have already been conceived. Even in the Golden Age, it would be difficult to easily conceive a third one. Lin Jing would have no choice but to go to the Origin Realm to find cultivation methods.

However, to the surprise of the second-generation ancient emperor, Lin Jing suddenly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have suddenly lost interest in the True Dragon Secret Technique and Immortal Body Manual. I wonder if we could change the terms of the deal?"

"What do you want to exchange?" The second-generation ancient emperor asked without changing his expression.

Lin Jing really didn't want the True Dragon Secret Technique Immortal Body Chapter anymore. What a joke! The true creator of the Immortal Body Chapter was right next to his avatar. Why would he need to make a deal with the second-generation ancient emperor?

If you can say a few bad things about the second-generation ancient emperor to the first-generation ancient emperor and curry favor with the old man, it's not impossible to obtain the complete True Dragon Secret Technique.

After all, the first ancient emperor seemed to have a very weak concept of "ancient races" and did not think that the True Dragon Secret Technique could only be practiced by ancient race cultivators.

Of course, considering the various backlashes that would occur if the True Dragon Secret Technique left the Tianyuan Realm, Lin Jing might not be willing to cultivate it.

"The Heavenly Flame Gu of Liu Gongzhuo, one of the chiefs of the Exorcism Bureau."

"At the same time, I want all the serious criminals above the Nascent Soul stage imprisoned in the ancient kingdom."

The second-generation ancient emperor didn't think he had high expectations for Lin Jing. As for the Heavenly Flame Gu, he knew that Lin Jing was collecting rare Gu, and even if Lin Jing collected the top ten rare Gu, he wouldn't think it was a big deal.

The fusion of the ten extraordinary Gu can only be considered an additive process, and it will not cause any qualitative change to the ten extraordinary Gu. At most, it will allow a single extraordinary Gu to jump from its normal Void Profound potential to its half-step Dao Inquiry potential.

In the eyes of the ancient emperor, it was nothing. Even if the God of Gu himself came, it would be nothing.

Demanding the Heavenly Flame Gu from Liu Gongzhuo's side wouldn't be too difficult; he would simply need to compensate the other party with resources of equal or even higher level.

However, what puzzled the second-generation ancient emperor was why Lin Jing needed so many serious criminals.

Cultivating demonic arts?

"Okay." In the end, the second-generation ancient emperor agreed to change the terms of the deal. Compared to the immortal body manual, these were nothing. If possible, the second-generation ancient emperor did not want Lin Jing to have the opportunity to cultivate an immortal body, even if he thought the opportunity was not great.

After all, no one is more suited to the True Dragon Secret Technique than the ancient clans, so even if Lin Jing tries to cultivate it, his progress won't be very good.

The reason Lin Jing wanted the prisoners imprisoned in the ancient kingdom was mainly because the prisoners he and the Demon Court had almost all been refined by the dragon carp.

His cultivation level, the Golden Core stage, was nearing its end. However, there was still considerable room for improvement in his and his pets' cultivation realms.

When the time comes, once a new batch of criminals is acquired, the Heavenly Demon will sweep them with its divine sense, and those who are truly wicked will be directly refined.

Those who were wrongly convicted and whose crimes did not warrant death were directly recruited into the demon-catching team to serve them and bring back more medicinal materials to repay the debt of being rescued.

Lin Jing originally thought there wouldn't be any, but he had seen too many of them with the incarnations, the rising stars, and the first generation.

In order to expedite investigations, some local officials would directly use the "Great Memory Technique" to alter the memories of rogue cultivators, forcing them to take responsibility and become demonic cultivators.

Although cases involving Nascent Soul stage and above should be considered major cases handled by the Demon Extermination Bureau headquarters and wouldn't be handled as carelessly as those below, Lin Jing still had more faith in his Heavenly Demon Divine Sense technique, which allowed him to see into the inner thoughts of others.

…………

Not long after, Lin Jing was sent back to Qingzhou by the Demon Emperor. At the same time, the rankings on the Fortune List also changed slightly.

The names of Long Li and Bing Po Gu disappeared from the top ten and from the list. The two prodigies who had been squeezed out, Xueyuan Totem Saint and Wushen Temple Divine Son, returned to the top ten.

"Good, good, good..." The God of the Witch God Temple, covered in dust and on his way to the Cloud Sea Mountains, wiped his nose. This was the most supportive he had ever shown for the Second Ancient Emperor. It seemed that the shameless behavior of the Holy Son of the Demon Court had finally been suppressed.

Many cultivators believed that the Second Generation Ancient Emperor had intervened, prohibiting pets and beast tamers from appearing on the list alone, thus sanctioning Lin Jing. However, in reality, Lin Jing actually gained far greater benefits.

Although they were no longer on the list, the Dragon Carp and Ice Soul Gu received even greater enlightenment bonuses, almost matching the bonuses of the sixth-ranked person on the Gold List, which is Lin Jing's place.

In addition, the leaf rat, which has not yet made the list, also directly enjoyed the bonus of being sixth on the gold list.

Even the mechanical turtle, which, as a mechanical life form, was not qualified to be listed, enjoyed a boost in fortune because of its contract with Lin Jing.

"In other words, now every one of my contracted beasts, regardless of race or realm, can enjoy the bonus of being sixth on the Golden Ranking. Not bad, not bad." Lin Jing licked his lips.

"Therefore, the most cost-effective approach should be to contract the 'fifth' contracted beast as soon as possible."

He had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and obtained another contract slot.

If used as soon as possible, not only will this new contracted beast enjoy nearly ten years of enlightenment luck, but it will also travel to the Origin Realm with him.

Originally, Lin Jing had planned to see if there were any special pet contracts in the Origin Realm, but now he decided to use them in the Tianyuan Realm first!
Lin Jing pondered deeply, considering the suitable contracted beasts at present...

"The corpse of a celestial beast? If I could form a contract with it, it would undoubtedly be much easier to control it in the future."

"No, although it's a corpse, it's still a celestial beast. Its level is too high to form a contract with. A dead beast can't comprehend the magic, which would be a waste of a spot."

"An avatar?? You can create a contract for your own avatar!"

"It seems like we're at a disadvantage too. After all, an avatar can enjoy the same fortune bonus as the original body, and doesn't need to occupy a contract slot. It can go to the Origin Realm just like the original body. Even if we were to form a contract, it wouldn't be now."

"An auction? There should be many Dao Seeking forces that can't enter the Origin Realm, like the Tower of Babel. If they send someone to form a contract with me, they can easily enter. However, there's only one Immortal Pill worth forming a contract with in the Tower of Babel..."

"Wait, if I form a contract with Senior Sister Xu Qingyao, and she then cultivates and improves the Human Control Technique, and forms a contract with another Beast Taming Sect cultivator, and so on in an endless nesting manner, wouldn't that bring the entire Beast Taming Sect into the Origin Realm, uh?" However, Lin Jing suspected that he would be sealed off by the Origin Realm's will and forced to wander the starry sky with the Beast Taming Sect.
