Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 52 Guardian

In the inner sect mission hall, Senior Brother Ouyang and the fox demon were lying unconscious on a warm jade bed.

Senior Brother Ouyang’s body was covered in frost, his skin was snow-white, his hair had turned into icy silk, and he looked extremely cold.

His pet fox demon was in a similar state, with completely white fur and unconscious.

No matter how the mission hall elders used their magic power to nurture and call upon them, Senior Brother Ouyang and the others did not respond at all.

On the side, the magpie spirit who issued the mission was in tears, complaining that he could not bring good luck to the disciples who were carrying out the mission in the sect.

"How is Senior Brother Ouyang doing?"

Many inner disciples knew Ouyang Hao. Seeing his condition, they asked, "Senior Mingque, what mission did Senior Brother Ouyang carry out? With his strength, how could he end up like this?"

Lin Jing also came to the inner gate mission hall at this time, only to see the magpie spirit angrily said: "Great Wilderness, Snow Moon City, my Beast Taming Sect has a beast valley in this city, raising many snow rabbits, which is the core industry of the sect.

A few months ago, disciples in the Beast Valley reported that a snow rabbit disappeared without a reason. In addition, a large number of ice and snow beasts also disappeared mysteriously in Snow Moon City. In order to investigate this matter, the sect issued a related task. "

"Many disciples went to Xueyue City to investigate, including Ouyang Hao. But who would have thought that he would encounter such an accident not long after arriving in Xueyue City!"

"You stole my sect's spiritual beast and injured my sect's disciples. This feud is irreconcilable!"

...

"The injury is extremely strange. I don't know what kind of martial arts caused it. My skills are unable to resolve it. If it weren't for the strong Yang energy in their bodies, they would have turned into an ice corpse by now." Elder Shen from Danxia Peak has also come. She is proficient in alchemy and medicine, but after observing them, she also frowned.

In addition, there was Elder Mo, who also came in a hurry. Even though Lin Jing brought back important information from the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he put it aside for the time being and came here first.

"Elder Shen, is there no cure for this ice injury?" Elder Shen had already given Senior Brother Ouyang and the fox demon a red pill each, but after taking the pills, there was still no change at all. Seeing this, Elder Mo asked with a gloomy face.

"If you give me some time, I might be able to study it, but given their current condition, I'm afraid we don't have enough time." Elder Shen shook his head.

"Hey, I'll go find the ancestor!" After saying that, Elder Mo took Ouyang Hao and the fox demon Hong'er away to seek help from the sect's ancestor Wang Batian who was guarding the pagoda.

Currently, most of the ancestors in the sect are away with the sect master, and only Turtle Ancestor is still in the sect.

Seeing Brother Ouyang being taken away, the inner sect disciples dispersed in a hurry, and they were extremely daunted by the "mission to investigate the missing beasts".

For an injury that even the Jindan elders are helpless to treat...it’s better to stay away from Xueyue City.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Jing followed with a heavy heart. Senior Brother Ouyang was one of their few good friends in the sect, and Lin Jing was very worried about his condition.

The pine leaf mouse nodded. It remembered that it was Senior Brother Ouyang who rescued Lin Jing from the Beast Taming Sect.

When they arrived at Qingtan Peak, Lin Jing and Songye Shu saw that the sect's ancestors were also helpless in the face of Senior Brother Ouyang's strange condition.

"Ancestor, you can't do anything about it?"

"This injury is strange, and it is suspected to be caused by the magic cultivation method. For example, the ghost fire injury of the Nether Palace is difficult to heal by normal means, and the same is true for his case."

The old ancestor had no choice. Elder Mo was extremely anxious and couldn't bear to see Ouyang Hao die. After all, he was a genius discovered by him, and he was also a disciple that the sect master had high hopes for.

At this time, Lin Jing came to the top of the mountain. In fact, the ancestor had already discovered him, but he did not stop Lin Jing from entering.

"Greetings, ancestor, and Elder Mo." Lin Jing looked at Senior Brother Ouyang, who was almost turned into an ice sculpture, and asked, "Is there really no way to save Senior Brother Ouyang?"

“The reason he’s still alive is because he has a Yuan Yang body and abundant Yang energy, which counteracts the mysterious ice injury. The same goes for the fox, because it feeds on Yang energy and has a blood contract with him, so it’s managed to save its life. But this situation... won’t last long. This ice injury... is still spreading!” said the ancestor.

Lin Jing walked up to Senior Brother Ouyang and the fox demon and picked them up: "Elder Mo, can you take me to Tiandu Peak? I want to ask for help from the one on Tiandu Peak!"

"Hmm?" Elder Mo glanced at Lin Jing, then at Songyeshu, and asked, "Did you succeed?"

Lin Jing nodded. The pine leaf mouse had just obtained a powerful skill from the Tiandu Divine Pine, and now he had to trouble this guardian god again... He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but he couldn't just watch Senior Brother Ouyang lose his life like this.

“Good!” Thinking that there was indeed a sect guardian deity, Elder Mo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"That monster is willing to see people?" It was the old ancestor Wang Batian who was surprised. The one on Tiandu Peak was hard for even the previous sect masters to see...

On top of Tiandu Peak, Lin Jing came here again with Senior Brother Ouyang in his arms and was not stopped.

As I wished, I saw the sacred pine again, and the forest scenery was straight to the mountain.

"Senior Shensong, this is Ouyang Hao, a disciple of the current sect master. They encountered an accident while performing a mission outside the sect and were seriously injured. The sect elders were unable to treat them, so I had no choice but to bring them here. I hope you can help me."

"I have an agreement with your second sect leader that I will only provide assistance within my ability when the Beastmaster Sect is facing life and death, and I have no obligation to rescue my disciples." Shen Song said.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!" The pine leaf mouse also begged.

But Shensong remained indifferent.

"Disciple knows..." Lin Jing nodded and said, "The most valuable thing in my body is my immortal body. I am willing to use my immortal blood to exchange for a chance for Senior Shensong to help me! Senior, please... lend a helping hand."

Shen Song was silent for a while, and said: "You don't have to do this, because I can't do anything. This is not caused by ordinary ice injury, but by poison. Moreover, this poison is very rare and difficult to eradicate by cultivation. Only by finding the source of the poison can we have a chance to prescribe the right medicine."

"The source of the poison?" Lin Jing pondered and sensed a hint of trouble.

However, he felt that Senior Brother Ouyang could not die like this.

Although the other party seemed unreasonable, he really helped me a lot.

The most important thing... Senior Brother Ouyang is still my guide. It was he who rescued me from the devil's cave, and only then could I practice!
Without the other party, I might really become a dessert for the Demon King. Although... if I want to save him now, I may have to pay a little price.

This is the guardian deity of the sky... He doesn't look like he would help for free. At most he'll have to sell his blood!

Lin Jing sighed slightly, but he still couldn't just sit there and watch.

……

At Gengyun Peak, Elder Mo saw Lin Jing carrying Ouyang Hao down and asked hurriedly, "What did the guardian deity say?"

Lin Jing shook his head and said, "The Guardian God has no way to eradicate the poison injury, it can only suppress it. However, it can see that this is caused by a strange poison. Only by finding the source of the poison can we get the best treatment."

“Poison…” Elder Mo was stunned and said, “There are many cultivators in Xueyue City who practice ice-attributed skills, but poison skills…”

"This person must be the culprit who caused the disappearance of the monsters in Xueyue City! Ouyang Hao must have found clues about him, which led to this accident! Damn it." Elder Mo was extremely angry.

But the next moment, he looked at Lin Jing who was clasping his fists towards him, and showed a look of astonishment.

"Elder Mo, I request to take over Senior Brother Ouyang's mission and go to Xueyue City to continue investigating the case, find the source of the poison, and rescue Senior Brother Ouyang." Lin Jing requested.

“No!” Elder Mo refused upon hearing this: “The Enforcement Hall and the elders of the sect will investigate Xueyue City. Why would a young cultivator like you go to such a dangerous place? As an immortal, you should just practice well in the back!”

Lin Jing shook his head and said firmly, "Elder, Senior Brother Ouyang saved my life. He saved me from the Yinshi Sect. In the sect, Senior Brother Ouyang also helped me a lot. I cannot remain indifferent to this matter."

"Disciple knows that the elder has good intentions and does not want the disciple to be in danger, but this matter... Disciple wants to go in person."

"I also want to practice peacefully for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but there are some things that, if not done at the time, will definitely leave regrets."

"If life is full of regrets, then what's the point of living forever?"

The pine leaf mouse nodded slightly to show his agreement. If there were not enough storage bags, then what was the point of cultivating immortals?

“You…” Elder Mo was speechless. This immortal body was most afraid of encountering a stubborn personality.

"Elder Mo, you don't have to worry. I am not sending myself to die for nothing. Senior Tiandu Shensong... has already agreed to come to Xueyue City to protect me. With that senior's cultivation, he should be invincible in Xueyue City. He said that this ice poison is extremely special and cannot be possessed by ordinary cultivators. Even if he finds the source of the poison, he will only have a few percent chance of helping Senior Brother Ouyang eradicate it. If I only hand over the investigation task to the Law Enforcement Hall, I will not be at ease."

"So I want to...go to Xueyue City with Senior Shensong to investigate and do our part! I have a plan!"

"That senior is actually willing to protect you." Elder Mo couldn't believe it. Then, he stared at Lin Jing and Song Ye Shu solemnly. Seeing that they were both very serious, he said, "If that's the case, then you can go. Ouyang Hao is extremely lucky to have you as a good friend."
