Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 40: Inner Gate Life
After comforting the future Fire Cloud Rat, Lin Jing entered the alchemy room in the cave.

The walls of this alchemy room are inlaid with thousand-year-old cold stones, which regulate the temperature inside the cave. Under an old alchemy stove in the center of the room, there is a connection to the burning flames deep underground.

Nothing else.

"This cave... looks quite old."

"Elder Shen said that this is the best remaining cave. Is that true?"

Lin Jing activated the "Fire Control Art" jade slip and absorbed the method of controlling fire into his mind.

With the experience of creating "Thousands of Changes", Lin Jing found that this basic fire control spell was very simple to use with true Qi.

He made hand gestures with one hand, and on his first try, he easily drew up the underground fire with his true energy. It only nearly burned the pine leaf squirrel that was watching nearby, and did not cause much damage.

"squeak!"

Flames flew everywhere, and the pine leaf rat jumped to the side, looking at Lin Jing with great anger.

Murder pets!

Attempt!

"Sorry, it's my first time, so I'm not very skilled." Lin Jing said, "But if you learn fire magic, you won't have to be afraid of fire."

The pine leaf mouse protested, do you think it is stupid?

"Okay, you won't do it again next time. With a little practice, it shouldn't be difficult to learn the art of controlling fire. Let's go out for a walk first." Lin Jing continued to comfort her.

……

After leaving the cave, Lin Jing first went to the Danxia Peak branch of the Fengshou Pavilion of the Quanzong chain.

Compared to the outer sect’s Harvest Pavilion, the products sold here are not basic spiritual crops like spiritual rice and spiritual beans.

"Fire Cloud Chili? The Beast Taming Sect doesn't have this kind of thing."

Unfortunately, the Beastmaster Sect did not have the Fire Cloud Chili that Lin Jing needed.

After leaving Fengshou Pavilion, the pine leaf mouse on Lin Jing's shoulder was in a good mood. It seemed that it didn't need to eat chili peppers, but its smile soon disappeared.

Lin Jing…walked from Danxia Peak to the highest peak of the Beast Taming Sect and came to the Inner Gate Mission Hall.

The missions in the inner sect mission hall are more advanced than those in the outer sect mission hall. Missions to slay demons and eliminate evil are everywhere. I'm afraid that Senior Brother Ouyang accepted his undercover mission in the Demon Sect here.

"I want to issue the task 'Search for Fire Cloud Chili Seeds.'" Lin Jing inserted a task that looked very much like an outer sect task among a bunch of high-level tasks.

"Hmm? A new face?" The one in charge of the inner sect mission hall was not a disciple, but a bird demon in the foundation-building stage, very much like a magpie.

It is one of the pets of the elder in charge of the inner sect mission hall, and is responsible for guarding the hall on his behalf. It is said that whenever a disciple goes out of the sect to perform a mission, it will sing a "good luck song" to the disciple, wishing him a safe return.

Every time a disciple failed to return successfully after listening to the song, there were people who could see it and shed tears.

"Senior, I am the new inner sect disciple of Danxia Peak, Lin Jing."

"According to the time, the inner sect assessment has just ended." The magpie spirit said, "I need a spirit stone to issue a task. What is your task reward?"

"Spirit stones." Lin Jing said. Although there were no valuable things in the storage bag of the Snowfield monk, there were still some basic currencies like the monks. The beast blood in it was given to all the senior brothers and sisters. The remaining spirit stones would be used to treat the pine leaf rats to chili peppers.

After issuing the tasks, Lin Jing left the mission hall contentedly. On the way back to the cave, he stopped in front of the Dan Tower on Danxia Peak.

Danlou can be said to be the exclusive scripture library of Danxia Peak. Unlike the inner gate scripture library which collects various magic spells, here there are a bunch of pill recipes for the disciples of Danxia Peak to consult.

"We already have the alchemy room and the fire control technique. If you want to learn alchemy, it's better to do it through practice. Let's go get two basic alchemy recipes." Lin Jing said to the depressed Songye Rat lying on his shoulder.

"Squeak..." It doesn't want to eat peppers.

"Don't worry, I won't force you. If there are no side effects after the experiment with the black bear elder, I will breathe fire myself." Lin Jing felt that he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see his pet suffer. When he arrived at the Dan Building, the guard was not a human, but a red-eyed foundation-building rabbit demon.

Lin Jing shook his head. The outer gate was fine, but the inner gate was like a den of demons, with more demons than people.

"Are you Lin Jing, the newcomer to Danxia Peak?"

"Senior, do you know me?"

"My beastmaster is Elder Shen, she told me. She said that if you come to the Alchemy Building, she will select a suitable pill formula for you to practice. But I didn't expect you to come so soon." The rabbit demon said: "Have you memorized the chapter on plants and trees? Have you learned the fire control formula? Why are you so anxious to come here to find a pill formula?"

Lin Jing nodded: "I have memorized the entire collection of herbs and trees, and I have also mastered the art of controlling fire."

"You are indeed a genius that Elder Shen values." The rabbit demon nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can choose any basic pill recipes on the first floor. They are all first-level pill refining formulas and techniques suitable for the Qi training stage."

"On the second floor, there are some high-end elixirs, such as various types of foundation-building pills, which require sect contribution points to exchange."

"I'll just pick two books on the first floor." Lin Jing said.

"Then you choose it yourself first, and then I'll give you some advice!" The rabbit demon rolled a tobacco, sat back leisurely, took a puff, and exhaled white air.

Seeing this, Lin Jing remained silent.

Why is this rabbit demon still smoking!
He covered his shoulders to block the pine leaf squirrel's curious gaze.

Then, he looked at the recipe on the first floor.

Spirit-replenishing pills... Lin Jing and his companions have taken quite a few of them. They have the effect of replenishing mana. It can be said that they are applicable to all realms, but the formula for each grade is different.

The beast power pill can allow a cultivator to temporarily possess the power of a monster.

Bigu Pill...

Hmm? Contraceptive pills?
Lin Jing saw something familiar again. It seemed that there was something called contraceptive technology before.

In addition to contraceptive pills, there are also aphrodisiac powders and love pills.

He opened his mouth slightly. If he hadn't known that this was the Beast Taming Sect, he would have thought that he had mistakenly entered the Hehuan Sect.

"Senior, I have made my choice."

After a while, Lin Jing took two pill recipes and showed them to Senior Rabbit Demon.

"Soul-boosting pills, um, the most basic of the basic pills, very suitable for beginners to practice."

"The Ecstasy Pill...why did you choose this thing?" asked the rabbit demon.

"I suggest you choose the Beast Strength Pill. Your pet, the pine leaf rat, is too fragile, and the beastmaster himself is also fragile. Prepare a Beast Strength Pill. Eat one during the battle, and your body will have the power of a tiger or elephant!"

"The most important thing is... Beast Power Pills sell better than Ecstasy Pills!"

"The Bewitching Pill can make the person who takes it have hallucinations for a period of time, unable to distinguish between illusion and reality." Lin Jing said: "I have been studying illusion magic recently, so I want to take a few Bewitching Pills to get a feel for it."

"I see." The rabbit demon said, "That makes sense. You can choose then."

……

After taking the recipe, Lin Jing and the others finally returned to the cave. Songyeshu went to count the contents of the two storage bags, while Lin Jing fell asleep.

He has been overworked and overusing his brain recently, so he needs to have a good rest now.

In the dream, Lin Jing dreamed that he swallowed a golden elixir, and a pine leaf rat cut a leaf to open the way to ascension. Both of them became the only cultivators in Tianyuan Continent who successfully ascended to the fairyland.

This fairyland... before they could take a closer look, they were knocked unconscious, tied up and sent to the fairy cave to mine.
