Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 51 Magic Power
On top of Tiandu Peak.

The pine leaf mouse stood shivering under a sacred, towering, golden-green pine tree.

The most terrifying thing is that food becomes a spirit and has greater magical power than yourself.

Even when faced with the eagles and snakes that appeared in the forest, it had never been so frightened.

The pine leaf mouse trembled slightly, threw his Taoist robe, put his hands together and kowtowed.

The beastmaster is right. We should practice steadily and steadily, step by step. Otherwise, there will be too many variables...

Zhi... Songye Shu, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, kowtows to the sect's ancestor.

"I'm here to help you!" When the pine leaf mouse kowtowed, another figure jumped up.

When Lin Jing received the call for help from the pine leaf squirrel, he immediately rushed to Tiandu Peak and climbed up using his hands and feet.

This place is the sect's forbidden area, and ordinary disciples are not allowed to climb to the peak. However, the pine leaf rats have gone up through legal channels. Lin Jing feels that as a beastmaster, there is nothing wrong with him in the past. Fortunately, Tiandu Peak does not pose any threat to him as a human.

Climbing up Tiandu Peak quickly and seeing the sacred pine tree in front of him, Lin Jing fell silent for a while.

If he remembered correctly, before the era of the Immortal Alliance, plants and trees could indeed become spirits, but during the battle to destroy the Immortal Palace, the plant spirits encountered the same situation as the demons. In order to eradicate the rebels, the rules of the Tianyuan Continent were rewritten by the Immortal Palace, and the difficulty for plants and trees to give birth to spiritual intelligence soared dramatically!

Nowadays, there are many monsters that can practice cultivation, but the number of plant spirits that can practice cultivation is far less than one ten-thousandth of the beast tribe.

Unexpectedly, the Beast Taming Sect's guardian deity of Tiandu is actually a pine tree spirit!
"Lin Jing, the future saint son of the Beast Taming Sect, pays his respects to the senior." Lin Jing also bowed with Songyeshu. As for who will be the saint son, go and ask the black bear monster.

"Don't be nervous." After a moment, an emotionless voice came from between heaven and earth.

"I have a contract with your sect's second leader and will not harm you."

The leaf squirrel breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the food would eat it.

"Senior, we came here because we heard the story of 'Squirrel Jumping over Tiandu'." Lin Jing explained the reason for breaking into Tiandu Peak.

"The pine leaf mouse clan..." It was as if an invisible gaze fell on the pine leaf mouse, making it feel uneasy.

"After so long, the Songye Mouse clan finally gave birth to a little fellow with the potential to become a demon king. Its efforts paid off." Shensong seemed to be very moved and said, "I will keep my promise and teach you the Dharma."

"Hmm?" Shen Song suddenly asked, "Are you an immortal?"

It then discovered that the beastmaster of this pine leaf mouse seemed to be quite extraordinary.

Lin Jing was shocked. This sect's guardian deity was so powerful that he was still wearing the pendant given to him by Elder Mo... Even so, his physique could be seen at a glance.

"No wonder this pine leaf mouse has such extraordinary potential. It turns out that it has signed a blood contract with the immortal body, and its fate has been changed."

Shensong asked Songyeshu: "What method do you want?"

The pine leaf mouse was stunned. Is it really true that the Dharma can be passed on?

It remained there in deep thought.

Finally... he looked back at Lin Jing, then turned back with a determined expression.

It wants... the secret of immortality!

Just as Shensong said, Linjing is an immortal body, but he, the pine leaf mouse, is not an immortal species.

These days, the pine leaf mouse has become more and more accustomed to being with Lin Jing. In order to be able to practice with Lin Jing forever, it begs the guardian god to grant it the art of immortality!
I just don’t know... whether it exists or not. If not, I’ll have to use the space law.

"This is not difficult. I have a magic skill that I can improve and give to you." Shen Song said.

This opening scared Lin Jing and the pine leaf mouse.

Demonic power! "Senior... my Beast Taming Sect is a righteous sect."

"The magic skill is for me." Shen Song said calmly: "This magic skill is to plunder the essence of plants and trees to increase my lifespan. I am a plant that has become a spirit, and I use this to plunder the lives of my own kind, so this is a magic skill, but for you humans and monsters, it is just an ordinary skill."

Lin Jing and Songye Mouse understood, but at the same time, they had a deeper understanding of the guardian of Tiandu.

Demon Cultivator!!!

Of course, this is from the perspective of the plant spirits.

No wonder the sacred pine ancestor is so calm when facing the pine leaf squirrels eating pine cones, as it itself is even more ruthless.

After that, green light shone, and the name of a technique emerged in Songyeshu’s mind! ! !

"The Green Emperor's Longevity Technique"!
Feeling the magic of this technique, the pine leaf mouse closed his eyes.

The Green Emperor's Longevity Technique can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into the Green Emperor's true qi. The Green Emperor's true qi has the effect of controlling plants and plundering their essence and converting it into lifespan.

However, at each level of the Longevity Technique, the amount of lifespan that can be converted has a certain upper limit, and it is not possible to obtain lifespan indefinitely.

Moreover, as the power of the skill increases, ordinary plants are no longer enough to provide longevity. High-level spiritual plants or even immortal plants are needed.

"The Dao has been passed on. Do you have anything else to do? If not, please leave the mountain." After Shen Song finished speaking, Lin Jing immediately said:
"Senior! Do you know the Demon Suppression Tower? Do you know the Buddha's light in the tower?"

“To be honest, Senior, we were training in the Demon Suppression Tower. Only after being strengthened by the Buddha’s light did we have the ability to climb up to Tiandu Peak. However, this Buddha’s light always gives me a weird feeling.”

Shen Song was silent for a moment, then said, "I know this Buddha light, and I have also seen its owner."

"You don't have to worry, this Buddha light is harmless."

"This Buddha light is his Buddha Pill magical power. It can develop the potential of low-level cultivators. But the most important thing is that it can grant cultivators a certain talent for Buddha cultivation."

"Back then, a group of monks came to the ancient country to preach. However, under the ancient country's ban, they did not dare to do so openly. They could only use this method of 'giving opportunities' to deepen the connection between low-level monks and Buddhism."

"After being strengthened by the Buddha's light, you and the pine leaf mouse will be able to practice Buddhist techniques and spells with half the effort. That's all. The group of monks are just expecting that the low-level cultivators will switch to practicing Buddhism because of this."

"Subconsciously... the number of Buddhist disciples will increase."

"I see." Lin Jing nodded.

"If you don't like Buddhism, I can help you erase your own Buddhist talents."

Lin Jing clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior. As long as there is no harm, that's good. In my opinion, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and magic are just tools. I don't have any special prejudice against them."

As a modern person, Lin Jing's philosophy is that no matter if it is Buddhism or Taoism, as long as it does not cost money to pray for blessings, you can believe in it to some extent. Beating someone with Taoism is the same as beating someone with Buddhism, so naturally you should use whichever is easier.

"Aren't you worried about becoming a Buddhist disciple?"

"My disciple has an immortal body. Even if I convert to Buddhism, I can still become a Buddha."

Shen Song: “…”

"You... can go now." Shensong felt that this immortal body was too despicable. He thought about how it had developed magic skills in order to prolong its life. However, the human race was born with longevity. If they practiced Taoism, they would become the Taoist ancestors, and if they practiced Buddhism, they would become the Buddha. It was really infuriating.

……

After coming down from Tiandu Peak, Lin Jing and Songyeshu were overjoyed. However, before they had gone far, they heard a mournful cry coming from the top of the mountain. It was the cry of a magpie.

Many figures rushed to the mission hall. Lin Jing stopped a strange inner sect senior brother and asked, "Senior brother, what happened?"

"The magpie is crying. An inner disciple met with an accident while on a mission outside the sect. I heard it was the mission-crazy Brother Ouyang Hao. He has been rescued now, but his life or death is unknown!" After the other party finished speaking, Lin Jing and Songye Shu's faces changed. Brother Ouyang?
