Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 60 Selecting a Fire Pet

After Lin Jing woke up again, Elder Yu, Elder Mo and others came to visit him.

During the time he was asleep, everyone had learned about what happened in Snow Moon City from the gesticulating Pine Leaf Rat, but the story was expanded by the Pine Leaf Rat, who had added a scene in which he fought against his companion poisonous spider and consumed many spirit beans.

Matsubara...requests supplies from the sect.

Elder Mo agreed to this trivial matter casually. He did not expect that the mission of Xueyue City would involve the Lotus Pavilion and the strange Gu of the Gu God Sect, nor did he expect that in such a short period of time, an innocent pine leaf mouse would become so scheming.

“But is it really okay to keep the poisonous insect in your body? Junior brother, don’t end up becoming a demon cultivator just to keep it.” Senior Brother Ouyang said worriedly. Not everyone can keep a poisonous insect. I’m afraid someone might go astray and resort to any means to keep it!

"If you can't afford it, don't do evil. You can let it absorb my power and I will bear it for you!" said Brother Ouyang.

"It would be a pity not to keep such a strange Gu for yourself. Who said that Gu insects are not beasts? Why can't they be controlled? Since Senior Shensong said there is no problem, and Lingyue Sword Immortal of the Demon Extermination Bureau didn't say anything, then there should be no problem." Elder Mo said.

"Yes, and to control puppets and mechanisms, he also uses the method of turning true Qi into silk. Now with the Ice Soul Gu Spider Silk, it will be of greater help to him in practicing mechanical arts and controlling mechanical beasts!" Elder Yu's mind is full of mechanical arts.

The corners of Lin Jing's mouth twitched a few times. It seemed that the black peppers that Elder Black Bear strongly requested to be destroyed could be taken out and replanted. Just as Shen Song said, too much debt is always a burden. If you have become a container for poisonous insects, are you still afraid of becoming a ghost fire monk?

"Don't worry about me. If I can't control it, I won't force it." Lin Jing raised his head and said, "But Senior Shensong said that if you want to perfectly control the Ice Soul Gu, it's better to wait until the foundation building stage and contract a fire pet to balance the power of the Ice Soul Gu. By the way... is there a suitable fire pet in the sect?"

"It's good to have a fire pet contract." Elder Black Bear, who was watching outside the door, suddenly came in and said, "I'll find you a fire pet. Then you'll have a pet to help you make pills!"

The implication was that it had promised Lin Jing the beast fire, but it was up to him whether to find it or not. The Black Bear Elder chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the pine leaf mouse also felt that having a fire pet was a good thing, so that Lin Jing wouldn't have to force it to eat chili peppers again.

"A fire pet?" Elder Yu fell into deep thought, and then said, "The Fire Spirit Bird is definitely not an option. It is only a spiritual bloodline, and it is not considered strong among spiritual bloodlines. It is okay as a basic pet, but it is extremely difficult to use it to counterbalance the Innate Gu King, the Ice Soul Gu."

“But my Beast Taming Sect… doesn’t seem to have any fire pets with the blood of the Demon King that we can provide to Junior Brother Lin, right?” Senior Brother Ouyang said, “The blood of the Demon King… there are only a handful of such bloodlines in the entire Great Wilderness.”

Elder Mo said: "It is not necessary to pursue a fire pet with king-level blood. The most important thing is... the bloodline must be strong! Enough to suppress the Gu King!"

"Ordinary monsters don't have this bloodline. The only ones with this ability are... the dragon clan!"

Dragon clan! Elder Yu and Senior Brother Ouyang thought it made sense. Before the demon clan became extinct, the dragon clan was the leader of the demon clan. The strength of their bloodline was unmatched by any other beast. They were definitely the first choice to counterbalance the poisonous insects.

"So, we just need to find a monster with both fire attribute and dragon blood!"

Elder Mo added: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a king-level bloodline... Don't forget, if he goes to the Hidden Dragon Academy to study... He will have the opportunity to learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Art. Senior Cao is right. The Hidden Dragon Secret Art is the top secret method for the Beastmaster Sect to cultivate dragon-blood pets."

"With the blessing of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, it is definitely possible to evolve into a fire dragon beast with king-level bloodline!"

"Right!!!" Elder Yu suddenly realized, he had almost forgotten this: "As long as you have fire attribute and dragon blood, the rest can be cultivated by the secret technique of the latent dragon!"

After listening, Lin Jing asked, "I remember the most common dragon blood pet in Jiulong Peak was the dragon blood carp? But that is a water-attributed spirit beast, right?"

The dragon-blood carp is not one of the five basic spiritual beasts of the Beast Taming Sect.

This is because during the Qi Refining Stage, the Dragon Blood Carp's combat power is extremely weak and it is very dependent on the aquatic environment. It is not like the tree frog which can move freely on land.

Only after the dragon blood carp has crossed the Nine Dragon Waterfall and transformed into a fish dragon, can it be considered a carp leaping over the dragon gate, soaring into the sky, becoming a rare beast that even the foundation-building masters are jealous of. However, the Beast Taming Sect has not produced a dragon blood carp that can achieve such an achievement for many years, so it is very rare.

“No need to worry.” Elder Mo waved his hand and said, “There are too many dragon-blooded monsters in Jiulong Peak. This is also the domineering nature of the dragon bloodline.”

"In the ancient demon era, the dragon race was at its peak. Because their bloodline was too powerful, the dragon race could reproduce regardless of their race... Over time, more and more beasts in Tianyuan Continent had dragon blood."

“For other sects, dragon-blooded monsters may be extremely rare, but in our Beast Taming Sect, there is no shortage of them!”

"In addition, the fourth generation leader of our Beast Taming Sect has also made great contributions to the diversity of the sect's pets! Don't worry, I will talk to Elder Jiang right away to see if there is anything suitable for you!" Elder Mo left the room without looking back.

The fourth generation leader of the Beast Taming Sect may not have been able to reform the sect and make many friends like the second generation leader, and may not have been able to create many secret beast taming techniques like the third generation leader and accumulate the foundation of the Beast Taming Sect's techniques, but he...

But he also did remarkable things.

That is to encourage the spirit beasts and demon beasts in the sect to mate across races and attributes, and to use elixirs to assist in optimizing the bloodlines of their offspring... With his lifelong efforts, the Beastmaster Sect did give birth to many rare pet beasts. Some of them had extremely powerful bloodlines, and of course some were not as good as the previous generation, but overall his merits outweighed his faults.

Among them, thanks to the efforts of the fourth generation sect leader, the breeding of dragon-blooded monsters was the most outstanding one. Therefore, the disciples of Jiulong Peak... have always had good combat effectiveness!
Lin Jing rested for a while, during which time several elders came to visit him, some of whom he knew and some of whom he didn't.

If Lin Jing was just an immortal, it wouldn't be worth the elders' concern. Even if an immortal had great potential, so what? Even if he had entered the cave? By the time Lin Jing grew up and could help them, they would have been dead for who knows how long.

The reason why some elders are so concerned is that the guardian god of Tiandu Peak, the sacred pine that has been silent for thousands of years, has actually been born and has served as the protector of the forest.

Lin Jing's identity suddenly became very popular, and his level of attention far exceeded that of Ouyang Hao.

After all, Ouyang Hao only had the possibility of becoming the sect master's disciple, and he was not the sect master's only true disciple.

Besides, the sect master has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, but the guardian god Shensong had already reached the Nascent Soul stage during the time of the second generation sect master. Now that so much time has passed, even if he has not entered the God Transformation stage, he should have reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. It is a great fortune for Lin Jing to be favored by such an ancestor.

However... only Lin Jing himself knew that the identity of the temporary bodyguard Shensong was obtained by selling blood. Of course, Senior Shensong was indeed a good person and helped him and Songyeshu a lot.

……

Elder Mo did not keep Lin Jing waiting for long and brought a list containing three types of dragon-blood monsters with fire attributes!

"Come and take a look." He handed the list to Lin Jing.

1: The initial stage of foundation building, Tianyu Crane.

A mutant of the Tianyu Crane clan, he possesses the blood of the Fire Feather Dragon. His feathers can transform into white dragon flames. He is deeply loved by the clan leader's wife and has extremely high standards. Many true disciples are eager to sign a contract with him.

2: The middle stage of foundation building, dragon-leo.

A wild fire lion that mutated after accidentally swallowing a dragon blood plant was tamed by the Beast Taming Sect. It is now one of the sect's outer guests, waiting for its destined partner.

Three: The ninth level of Qi training, the Tongbi Fire Monkey.

An atavist of the Fighting Ape clan, his ancestor was the deceased sect demon king, the pet of the fourth generation sect master, a red-scaled ape with the bloodline of a fire-scale dragon.
