Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 4 Pet Beast
One's own physique, like that of an ordinary body, has no attributes.

After Lin Jing knew about this, he looked at Elder Mo and said, "Then Elder Mo, I will choose the pine leaf mouse."

"Oh?" Elder Mo asked, "Are you sure?"

Lin Jing nodded: "OK."

His idea was very simple. With his immortal body, it was not suitable for him to go out and fight in the early stage. It might be better for him to raise a wood-type pet that could farm and cultivate spiritual plants, stay in the sect and farm, and slowly improve his strength.

In addition, although the immortal body has no attributes, most wood methods are related to vitality and life force, and wood-attributed spirit beasts are obviously more suitable for oneself.

As for pets that are good at fighting, it will not be too late to look for them within the sect after you have reached a higher level of cultivation and become an inner disciple.

"Elder Mo, is there something wrong with this pine leaf rat?" Lin Jing asked worriedly.

“Well…” Elder Mo said, “The sect raises many spirit beasts. After they are born, the sect will instill their mission in them and help them open their spiritual wisdom. They will also give them spirit stones every month so that they can practice.”

"Those available for sect disciples to choose from are basically spirit beasts born within one year, who have been trained with the sect's resources to reach the third level of Qi training, and whose intelligence is awakened enough to understand human speech."

"After all, under this kind of training intensity, if you still can't reach the third level of Qi training and can't understand human speech, it means you are not suitable for cultivation at all. Let alone helping human disciples, it would be good if you don't hold them back."

"And this one... when the last batch of disciples selected their pets, it only reached the second level of Qi training, and did not meet the standards."

"Normally, it will be released into the pine forest and will no longer be a pet given to disciples."

"But according to the investigation of the elders in charge of basic spirit beast training, the reason why this pine leaf mouse was only at the second level of Qi training at that time was due to some special reasons."

"What is it?" Lin Jing was stunned.

Elder Mo hesitated and said, "This pine leaf rat has some quirks. It actually hoarded the resources distributed by the sect as if they were treasures. It hid them very deep and didn't use any of them. It relied on its own talent to cultivate to the third level of Qi training in recent days."

"I don't understand what it's thinking. If we hoard these spirit stones, can they become more?"

"..."

"Maybe it's a sense of security." Lin Jing.

"Considering that its talent is not bad, and it can even be said to be an excellent talent that is rare in ten years, the elder has not yet eliminated its place and has given it a second chance to enter the outer sect."

"Anyway, I'll take you to have a look first. If it's not suitable, then we can look at other pets. And if you can tame it, with its talent, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation." Elder Mo said.

"Disciple understands..." After listening to this, Lin Jing decided to wait and see before making any further comments.

…………

Pine Forest Peak.

Two cranes landed.

After a while, Elder Mo and his companions arrived outside a pine forest.

"Songlin Peak, this is where the pine leaf rat tribe lives."

In the pine forest, Lin Jing saw many squirrels. In Lin Jing's opinion, pine leaf squirrels were squirrels that had become spirits. In general, they looked no different from ordinary squirrels. They had soft and shiny fur dotted with fine light yellow stripes, which made them very cute.

They look a bit like Huangshan squirrels! But the difference between them and ordinary squirrels is that they have a pair of emerald green eyes, the color of which is like the dreamy color of fallen leaves and morning light intertwined in the forest.

"squeak……"

One by one, pine leaf mice leaped by. These pine leaf mice, which had just awakened their spiritual intelligence or had not yet awakened their spiritual intelligence, were obviously unable to speak human language like Elder Black Bear and the crane just now.

"Most of the pine leaf mice living in the pine forest now have talents and potential that do not meet the contract standards."

After arriving, Elder Mo walked in front and Lin Jing followed.

"Except the one I mentioned which is quite special."

Under the guidance of Elder Mo, Lin Jing soon saw the pine leaf mouse.

He stood on the ground.

A pine squirrel meditates in a pine tree with its eyes closed.

It opened its eyes only when someone arrived.

"squeak?"

Eyes facing each other.

At this moment, a few strands of Elder Mo's disobedient hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of unruly and immortal aura to him.

"I have already greeted Elder Jiang. This is the sect's new disciple. He wants to choose you as his first pet. What do you think?" He asked Songyeshu with his hands behind his back.

"Squeak..." The pine leaf mouse hesitated for a moment, looked towards the forest, and spoke in a baby voice.

Emerald green eyes observed Lin Jing. On the side, Elder Mo said: "You need to introduce yourself to it. Generally, spirit beasts will decide whether to follow the other party based on the situation of the disciple."

"For disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, choosing a pet is always a two-way choice. If you want to take the other party away, you also need the approval of the pet."

"This process is also a test for the disciples. Whether they can gain recognition from their pets with their own abilities is very important for the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect."

"Only when both the cultivator and the pet recognize each other can the cultivation be twice as effective with half the effort."

"I see." Lin Jing nodded.

Are you just making empty promises?

But he is an honest man.

"I am in the forest realm, and I have a special physique, so my training speed is a bit slow. If you become my pet, you may have to work harder together."

Lin Jing looked at the pine leaf mouse and gave it a shot of prevention. Since he wanted the other party to help him practice, he did not hide his physical defects.

After all, the Immortal Body is known to have an extremely slow physical condition for cultivation.

He believes that sincerity is enough to impress the other party.

however……

"Squeak!!!" The pine leaf mouse was startled.

If the cultivation is slow, wouldn't it use up all the spirit stones that it has stored for a long time?
It took a small step back.

Seeing this, Lin Jing was silent.

Sure enough, true love cannot be retained since ancient times.

At the side, Elder Mo had a barely perceptible smile on his face.

This kind of strange pet often has a weird personality and unique thinking, so it is not easy to tame it.

However, Lin Jing is not an ordinary person.

Facing this guy who could resist not using the spirit stones, had a strong will, and looked like he had quit drugs, he thought for a while and said:
"Storage bags."

Since sincerity doesn't work, Lin Jing plans to please the other party.

Lin Jing said: "After you become my pet, I will save up spirit stones to give you an independent space storage bag that can store countless items."

"When we have achieved success in our cultivation, it would be fine if we could give you ten storage rings with larger spaces."

"Don't you like to hoard resources? When there are too many things, will you still have enough space here?"

Lin Jing is sure that for a hoarder who likes to stockpile goods, the most painful thing is probably the insufficient capacity of the backpack.

Pine Leaf Mouse: ! ! ? ?
"squeak!?"

The next moment, the pine leaf mouse's eyes lit up and it was instantly attracted by Lin Jing's big cake.

"This immortal body is quite smart." Elder Mo was stunned.

"A quirk of hoarding items, storage bags..." Compared to the people here, Lin Jing, who has extensive experience in the hoarding rat game in his previous life, knows better what the hoarding rat in front of him needs.

"It's just that this pine leaf mouse doesn't look smart."

"But after all, I have just opened my spiritual wisdom."

On the side, Elder Mo saw this and shook his head. Storage bags are very expensive.

In any case, the pine leaf mouse took the bait.

Subsequently.

One, two, three... dozens of low-grade spirit stones were thrown out of the tree hole by the pine leaf mouse under the silent expressions of the two people. Finally, the pine leaf mouse also came out again.

"Squeak!"

Looking at Lin Jing, Songyeshu's tone was excited, as if he had recognized him, and he planned to take all his belongings and join Lin Jing to start a new life of cultivation together.

Lin Jing also smiled.

"In order for us to buy storage bags as soon as possible, I will keep these spirit stones for you first, and we will plan and use them reasonably."

The pine leaf mouse was startled, looked at Lin Jing's sincere gaze, and nodded ignorantly.

Full of expectations for the future.
