Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 544 Mobile Phone
The girl in the yellow dress sped away. After a long while, she realized that the Foundation Establishment expert was not chasing her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scared to death."

"How could there be a Foundation Establishment level monster here...?"

She dared not be careless and continued to rush in one direction. Watching the woman in the yellow dress leave, Lin Jing did not stop her.

A moment later, a little squirrel peeked out from Lin Jing's clothes and started squeaking.

"Huang Zhixin...?"

"At the fourth level of Qi Refining, considering the current concentration of spiritual energy, this age is not considered low. He can be considered a little genius."

With the current level of soul cultivation attained by Pine Leaf Rat, he could peer into the memories of the girl in the yellow dress with just a glance, using her eyes as the window to the soul—it was no different from soul searching.

This girl, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, is named Huang Zhixin. She is a disciple of the Thousand Clouds Temple, which only has two cultivators in total...

Besides her, there was also the abbot, who was also her grandfather, Daoist Qianyun, who had the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, Qianyun Temple is not the only cultivation force in this mountain area.

After the spiritual energy revival, these mountains and rivers became the most concentrated places of spiritual energy, with a concentration of spiritual energy that was incomparable to heavily industrialized cities. Therefore, many cultivators left the city and went to the deep mountains to cultivate after the spiritual energy revival.

Huangshan, for example, has gathered more than a dozen cultivation forces similar to Qianyun Temple. Looking at the whole earth, it can be regarded as a large-scale gathering place for cultivators.

Qianyun Temple is the closest to Lin Jing's current location, which is why Huang Zhixin, who was cultivating nearby, noticed the anomaly.

"According to the girl's memories, in this vast Huangshan Mountain, among dozens of cultivators, not a single one had reached the Foundation Establishment stage; the highest cultivation level was only that of a group of Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators..."

"Besides that, this woman doesn't have a deep understanding of the cultivation world as a whole. She only knows that the Foundation Establishment stage is probably the pinnacle of the cultivation world on Earth today..."

“No, I clearly sensed that there is a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in Huangshan, although it is a demon beast… and it’s not even in the early Foundation Establishment stage… but at the Great Perfection stage.” Lin Jing was surprised.

But... it has nothing to do with him.

Qianyun Temple.

After quickly returning to the Taoist temple built deep in the mountains, Huang Zhixin hurriedly woke up an old man who was fast asleep inside: "Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up."

"Shut up, you little gourd brother!" Huang Qianyun opened his eyes impatiently and said, "What time is it? Have you finished your cultivation?"

"I just encountered a senior in the Foundation Establishment stage."

bass.

Huang Qianyun stood up abruptly, her eyes wide as she looked at her granddaughter, instantly snapping to attention: "What did you just say?"

"I said, I just met a senior in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"What does the other person look like?" Huang Qianyun pressed.

"He looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a blue robe, with long black hair tied up with a red rope..." Huang Zhixin immediately described the appearance of Lin Jing as she saw him, and also explained the background.

"Strange, as far as I know, there's no such person among the Foundation Establishment stage seniors." Huang Qianyun's expression was grave: "Are you sure it's a Foundation Establishment stage expert??"

"Didn't you say that the 'Cloud Eyes' you taught me could see through the cultivation levels of any Qi Refining cultivator? And that I should never offend a cultivator whose cultivation you couldn't see through, and should stay far away from them?" "Then maybe it really is true." Huang Qianyun's expression changed as she said, "The senior you encountered is most likely not a modern person who started cultivating after the spiritual energy revival; he's probably a cultivator from ancient times..."

"Come on, let's go visit that senior together." Huang Qianyun started rummaging through things in the Taoist temple, then pulled Huang Zhixin along and headed back towards the direction where Lin Jing was.

"Still going?"

"That senior didn't blame you for your impudence, which means he's not unreasonable. There's no harm in going to see him."

"The Foundation Establishment stage is even more precious than a giant panda."

At this moment, Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, still not having begun his secluded cultivation. He had already calculated that the girl from earlier would definitely bring more people with her.

Before starting my spiritual practice, I wanted to ask the other person for a favor.

"Junior Huang Qianyun, I offended you earlier, senior. Please forgive me and offer this small apology. I hope you will accept it."

After Huang Qianyun arrived, he apologized and presented a jade box. Lin Jing, the overlord of the Origin Realm, had seen all kinds of rare treasures and did not pay much attention to the gift from this Qi Refining cultivator at first. However, when Huang Qianyun opened the jade box and revealed the stone inside, Lin Jing was slightly taken aback.

It was actually a rare and precious celestial treasure, the Moon Gazing Stone.

No, there are still some differences. Although it is very similar to the Moon Gazing Stone, a celestial-grade gem in Lin Jing's memory, its spiritual energy is too severely depleted. The power contained within is at most equivalent to a few low-grade spirit stones.

In that instant, Lin Jing immediately understood. Although the spiritual energy was depleted, Earth was, after all, the ancient immortal realm. The abundance of rare and precious materials here was far beyond what the lower realm could offer. As the spiritual energy recovered, the treasures here would be reborn very quickly.

"It's a good material for refining artifacts." Since it's a celestial-grade material, Lin Jing won't stand on ceremony. This kind of ore can be used to refine celestial artifacts. Although it has some flaws at the moment, it can be turned into a treasure soon after being synthesized by the pine needle rat.

Upon seeing Lin Jing accept the gift, Huang Qianyun immediately became as happy as a child and asked, "Senior, have you been cultivating diligently and only recently emerged into the world?"

"If you don't mind, senior, you can stay at my Qianyun Temple for the time being."

"No need," Lin Jing said. "You must have something to ask of me, so please speak freely. Since I've accepted your gift, I can help you as long as it's not excessive."

Huang Qianyun was even more excited than she hadn’t expected this senior to be so easy to talk to. She said, “How could I dare? It is my honor to be able to help you, senior. It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Is there anything else I can do to help you, senior? I will do my best.”

Lin Jing saw that the other party wanted to curry favor with him, so he didn't refuse. He had just returned to Earth and did need some people to help him with his affairs.

For example, his recent discovery suggests that Earth, as a former celestial realm, must still retain many treasures.

"Then help me collect some more... similar items." Lin Jing pointed to the jade box floating beside him and said, "Anything related to cultivation is acceptable."

Huang Qianyun nodded repeatedly. These things that Lin Jing considered valuable were actually only as valuable as spirit stones in the eyes of ordinary cultivators. Although they were precious, they were far less valuable than the opportunity to meet a Foundation Establishment expert.

"Um...most importantly...which of you will go down the mountain and buy me a cell phone?"

"It has internet access."

"No old-fashioned mobile phones."

Two people:? ? ?
This senior... actually knows about cell phones?! And he even knows about feature phones for seniors?!
