Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 66: The Devil in the Deep Desert
In the deep wilderness, after finding a place for cultivation, Lin Jing began to build a simple spirit gathering formation with spirit stones and opened up his own temporary cave. Although the spiritual energy here is not as good as that in the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing now has 100,000 spirit stones. Even if the concentration of spiritual energy around is lower, it will not have much impact. He still has to rely mainly on spirit stones to support the speed of cultivation!

With so many spirit stones, even if the immortal body's cultivation is extremely slow, how can krypton gold not change the efficiency of cultivation?

While Lin Jing was building the formation, the pine leaf rat could not wait to pull up a blood-sucking vine, activate its power, and devour the essence of the plants. Although the blood-sucking vine is a very dangerous plant to ordinary monsters, the blood-sucking vine here is obviously not yet mature. Moreover, the pine leaf rat, who has practiced the Qing Emperor's longevity skill, has a strong suppressive power against the dangerous plants.

This improved version of the Qing Emperor's Longevity Art is divided into four levels, corresponding to entry, minor success, major success, and perfection. Among them, breaking through to minor success can initially increase one's lifespan by 500 years, which is already the lifespan of an ordinary Jindan cultivator.

According to Shensong, the magical power sublimation brought about by the transformation of the life level after the Qingdi's longevity skill was slightly accomplished will also allow the pine leaf mouse to control plants and trees more easily. At that time, in a short period of time, an ordinary mountain ginseng can be transformed into a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng.

"Is the construction completed? Once it's completed, we'll bleed you."

By the lake, the pine leaf mouse stared with its big, harmless eyes, holding the vampire vine tightly. Green energy surged around its body, and the vampire vine gradually withered.

Shensong urged Lin Jing to get up. Hearing this, Lin Jing nodded, cut the center of his finger, walked to the front of the vampire vine, and dripped the water.

"That's it."

As the immortality blood fell, the withered vampire vine seemed to sense something and twitched wildly as if instinctively, quickly absorbing the immortality blood on the epidermis into its body. After a few seconds, the vampire vine suddenly split and grew at a terrifying speed, becoming several times thicker, as if it had gained years of magical powers, like a wildly dancing green python.

"It's a bit fierce."

Lin Jing stepped back. It was the first time that he directly saw the effect of his immortality blood. You have to know that this was just a drop of ordinary blood, not essence blood. Even the amount of blood lost was almost harmless to the body. It was a pity that he didn't have hemorrhoids, otherwise he would have to cut a piece and feed it to the dog to see the effect.

"squeak!!"

The vampire vine was full of life again, full of the essence of the plant. Even though the leaf mouse had been thrown into the air by the thick vines, it still held on tightly and was unwilling to let go, and bit it.

It madly practiced the Qing Emperor's Longevity Skill, plundering the nutrients of the "mutated vampire vine". After this sucking, the pine leaf mouse immediately felt different. The essence of the plants flowed through its body like a stream, nourishing its body. The one-year-old pine leaf mouse instantly felt several years younger, as if it had returned to its mother's womb and was reborn.

It seemed as if it saw a green seed being born within the body, sprouting, and emitting vitality. The breath of life permeated the whole body and tempered every organ.

"As expected of an immortal being, you have made the blood-sucking vines so 'spiritual' in this era. It's a pity that you still cannot make plants give birth to intelligence? Maybe your cultivation is too low. When you become a spirit, maybe a drop of your blood can make plants turn into spirits." The pine cone transformed from the divine pine tree floated aside, sighing.

"Senior, are you feeling lonely?" Lin Jing asked. After all, there are too few plants and trees that can become spirits in this era.

"Yes, the group of plants and trees in my hometown that became spirits with me have all been swallowed by me. I haven't seen my 'companions' for a long time. It is said that there are more plant spirits in Qingzhou. I don't know whether it is true or not. I will definitely go and take a look one day." Mosong said.

"..." Lin Jing said no more and concentrated on observing the changes in the pine leaf squirrel.

After a long time, the blood-sucking vine was sucked dry by the pine leaf rat again. Lin Jing threw away another drop of immortal blood, and the vine became lively again.

Seeing this, the pine leaf mouse hugged tighter. Its body was transforming every second, and the Qing Emperor's Longevity Technique was running wildly. No wonder Senior Mosong said that with this method, it would soon achieve some success.

……

After a few days of this, the pine leaf mouse unknowingly reached the eighth level of Qi training. The emerald color of its eyes became brighter, and with every breath it took, the plants and trees could worship it.

Lin Jing sat cross-legged and practiced the beast taming technique while feeding the plants with his blood. At this moment, the lake had been cleaned up by them and there were no dangerous things in it, so he let the dragon carp enter the lake temporarily.

In addition to insects and shrimps, the dragon carp also chooses some plants as food, such as seeds and sprouts of aquatic plants and plant debris scattered in the water. When the pine leaf mouse eats meat, it also drinks soup and nibbles several times on the extremely weak blood-sucking vine.

However, what made Longli drool the most were those mosquitoes that were so foolish as to suck Linjing's blood...

Some mosquitoes landed on Lin Jing and sucked a little blood, then they tended to become spirits, and their lives were sublimated. Some mosquitoes with good "qualities" could even practice Qi in an instant and become mosquito spirits. "These mosquito beasts are so lucky. Before they became spirits, they sucked the blood of immortality that many demon kings and demon emperors dreamed of!" Shen Song sighed.

"Unfortunately, life is short."

They were shaken off by Lin Jing, and then burned by the flames that spewed out from the lake, becoming food for the dragon carp.

"Pop...Pop..." The dragon carp bubbled, claiming to be a beastmaster who had solved the terrible monster that hurt it. It was obvious that it had developed intelligence during this period of time.

Although it is still not tall, it is comparable to the original pine leaf mouse.

"You are worthy of being like this. In the future, you must deal with any beast that hurts me in this way." Lin Jing gave recognition and encouragement.

The dragon carp was encouraged and began to swim in the boiling waters.

Lin Jing turned around and asked Senior Xiang Shensong.

"Senior, can you tell what bloodline this carp has?"

"Yeah, I can see that."

"It's the bloodline of dragon carp." Shen Song said.

Lin Jing was silent for a moment, but he couldn't say it was wrong.

"For creatures with dragon blood, the stronger the bloodline, the stronger the physique; the stronger the physique, the stronger the bloodline. If you want to know whether the source of dragon blood in its body is strong, just look at its physical potential. Those dragon carps that can cross the Dragon Gate are all able to fight against the giant waterfall with their bodies."

"Senior, do you mean to let it start training now and see the effect?"

"Yes, but before strengthening the body, I have a magic skill that can directly measure its physical potential."

Why is it the magic power again!

"It's just a joke. There are not so many magic skills. It's just common sense in the world of immortal cultivation. It's applicable to monsters with strong bloodlines. You are from the Beast Taming Sect, so you should know it..."

"Senior, please give me some advice!"

"Pain, extreme pain, can stimulate the physical potential of life and make it burst out with extraordinary power. To see whether a dragon-blooded monster has potential, you can judge something by giving it pain and observing its reaction." Senior Mosong said easily.

"For monsters with little potential, the pain caused by injuries will only make them weaker and weaker, but for monsters with physical potential, their strength will increase greatly."

"After a life-and-death fight, some monsters' strength increases significantly. It's the pain they sustained in battle that unleashes their potential! Do you understand?"

The dragon carp has developed intelligence. Although it is not high, it is not stupid either. Upon hearing this, it silently dived to the bottom of the water and stopped bubbling. It was very honest. This is clearly... the magic power!

Lin Jing shook his head. This was too cruel. How could one intentionally hurt a pet? He took out a few black peppers, thinking of giving Long Li some food to improve his diet as a reward for his service in protecting the emperor.

"Senior, would you like one too?" He handed it forward as if he were handing over a cigarette.
