Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 72 List of Prodigies

Cao Ziwei smiled and shook his head.

"Well, we don't need it for now." Lin Jing said helplessly.

Faced with the cultivation cave that still required the payment of spirit stones, he was somewhat reluctant to leave. He decided to learn more about the academy before making a decision.

He survived three months in the Great Wilderness and didn't care much about the cultivation cave.

Who could have imagined that I would end up living on the streets on the first day after entering Qianlong Academy.

"Well, many students live outside the academy and only come to the academy when there are famous teachers giving lectures. This is fine. It's safe inside Qianlong City."

Cao Ziwei said: "In this case, you might as well go to Qianlong City and find a place to stay. This pavilion is just outside the academy. If you cultivate purple or golden Qianlong luck later, maybe a teacher in the academy will take a fancy to your talent and accept you as a disciple and find a place for you to practice."

"Come? I'll seal the Hidden Dragon for you." He picked up the seal.

Hearing this, Lin Jing stretched out the back of his right hand and said, "Senior Cao, you can print the Hidden Dragon Seal here."

The other hand... is the mark of the sacred tree that sealed the Ice Soul Gu.

We can't let the latent dragon's luck and the icy soul Gu fight each other.

Bo———

Cao Ziwei gently pressed the dragon seal on the back of Lin Jing's hand. After the white baby dragon pattern was imprinted, it quickly disappeared.

"Well, the induction is complete. I look forward to the day when your name will be heard in Qianlong Academy."

After he finished the guidance, he disappeared right where he was. He didn't give any tokens representing the students of the academy, nor any objects introducing the academy!

"Is this Qianlong Academy reliable?" Lin Jing looked at the back of his hand.

However, this young dragon's mark should be able to represent his identity.

As for the situation of the academy, you should explore it yourself.

"A place that trains immortal officials is certainly not reliable." After Cao Ziwei disappeared, a pine cone flew out of Lin Jing's pocket and said, "But the cultivator just now was quite powerful. He has reached the perfect stage of Nascent Soul cultivation and has good combat power."

"Senior, who is more powerful, you or Mr. Cao?"

"What do you think? It's just a Nascent Soul! But there are countless powerful people in Qianlong Academy, and I am nothing."

Shen Song chuckled and said, "Now you know why I asked you to come to Qianlong Academy after you have a certain level of strength, right? The core of Qianlong Secret Art is strength. You can find a foundation-building cultivator who is easier to control in the academy and beat him up. Then you can almost get started with Qianlong Secret Art!"

"Practicing Qi and building a foundation, this is something that only the geniuses of the top sects can do. It will definitely make you famous!"

"Do you understand my good intentions?"

Lin Jing was silent. Songyeshu and Longli nodded repeatedly as they recalled the painful season of fighting the wooden man.

I hope the foundation-building monks in the academy... are easier to beat than wooden men!
"Senior Cao just said that Qianlong Academy doesn't teach fighting, so what do they teach specifically?" Lin Jing asked, "The way to be an official?"

"Before leaving, students from the academy will go to a remote city to serve as the lord of a city to verify their learning results. So what Qianlong Academy teaches is naturally how to govern a city!"

"Maybe there will be agricultural monks who will come to teach the students here how to farm and plant crops to improve the agricultural level of the city."

"Maybe there will be an old geek who is proficient in Feng Shui and will come to teach students how to plan the architectural layout of the city!"

"There will even be fortune tellers to teach you how to read faces, judge people's temperament and destiny, and identify and use people wisely. These are all things that an immortal official needs to master in the process of governing a city!"

"In short, the academy teaches all kinds of things, except fighting!"

"However, without a certain level of strength, it is difficult to learn these things, as the teacher just said. Of course, gaining reputation is not just about strength. If you refine an elixir, an immortal weapon, or tame an immortal beast, you can also become famous."

"Isn't this even more outrageous?" Lin Jing said, "It's easier to kill a great man in the Asking Dao Stage than this." "Yes." Shen Song said, "So, it's still more reliable to speak with strength!"

"Do you know the Tianji Tower's Tianjiao Ranking? This should be a shortcut to practicing the Qianlong Secret Art. You should pay attention to it!"

The list of geniuses, produced by Tianji Tower.

It is divided into three lists: Heaven, Earth and Man.

Those who can make the list are all the most talented among the talented in the world of immortal cultivation.

The spread of this list of geniuses is not limited to one region, but the entire ancient country of Tianyuan. Even some cultivators outside the ancient country are paying attention to the list of geniuses of the ancient country.

If the students of the academy want to quickly gain great reputation, practice the secret art of Qianlong, and be on this list, everything is enough and there is no need to make any other efforts.

"You guys, first try to find a way to get on the individual list."

Shen Song said: "The realm of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art is still very important. I will listen to all the courses in the academy if I can!"

“Don’t ignore these courses just because they don’t teach you how to improve your strength.”

"I have some knowledge of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art. Only when you obtain an official position can you exert its true power. The stronger your official luck is, the stronger the Hidden Dragon Secret Art will be. If you want to obtain official luck, you cannot do without governing the city. What this academy teaches is very important! If you only have strength, you won't be able to manage a city!"

"I understand. I may not be able to do other things, but when it comes to attending classes and studying, I am extremely experienced." Lin Jing nodded and said, "But isn't this Tianjiao List a bit difficult with our current strength?"

He turned his head to look at Songyeshu and Longli. One was at the ninth level of Qi training, and the other was at the eighth level of Qi training...

He had also seen the Tianjiao Ranking a few months ago. The 100th person on the Human Ranking, which was the last one, was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator! He was the kind who could kill a perfect Foundation Establishment demon by leaps and bounds!
"I'm not letting you in now! Wait until you've built your foundation, then consider the Tianjiao List. You're not that old anyway!" Shensong said casually.

The conditions for being listed on the Tianjiao Ranking List are that the bone age is under 30 years old and the cultivation level is below the Golden Core level.

The conditions for being on the Earth Ranking are that the bone age is under 60 years old, and the cultivation level is higher than Golden Core but lower than Nascent Soul!
The Heavenly Ranking is for those with a bone age of less than 100 years and whose cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Stage!

Compared with the hundreds or thousands of years of lifespan of Jindan and Yuanying cultivators, those who can make the list under this restriction are indeed worthy of being called geniuses.

"First, find an ordinary foundation-building cultivator to start with and teach him the secret art of the Hidden Dragon!"

"I won't follow you in the academy. You should work hard on your own. I will come if there is any danger!"

After Shensong and Lin Jing finished talking, he seemed to be concerned about something. After leaving a life-saving pine cone, he fled from the academy in his real body, leaving Lin Jing outside the pavilion sighing with his Zen stick in his hand.

"Let's go." He thought for a moment, then took the pine leaf mouse and dragon carp for a stroll.

……

In Qianlong City, Lin Jing and his friends were strolling around and unknowingly walked out of the academy. Smelling the aroma of food and following the flow of people, they came to a restaurant called "Xiankelai" which was doing very good business!
"Hey, sir, why do you bring your own ingredients? We don't have any processing services here." Lin Jing had stayed in the Great Wilderness for three months. He wanted to improve his meals first, but the waiter who greeted people outside the restaurant looked at the dragon carp in the Zen staff with wide eyes and started talking nonsense.

"Boom!!!" The dragon carp was furious. How could it look like food?
"Squeak...squeak..." The pine leaf mouse laughed secretly. In fact, it also felt that the dragon carp nowadays was very suitable as food material. Not only was the meat delicious, but it also had a fragrance when soaked in water. Later, it was marinated with chili peppers, and it was simply spicy and delicious.

"Do you have good eyesight? This is my pet."

"Ah? Sorry, sir, please come in..."

Lin Jing did not make things difficult for the waiter. After all, it was indeed strange to carry with him a dragon carp that could not enter water.

He entered the restaurant, found an empty table and started looking at the dishes. At this moment, a voice from the next table caught his attention.

"Have you heard that Fang Shilin, a student of Qianlong Academy, is setting up an arena in the south of the city, trying to challenge people of the same level to win a hundred consecutive battles. Is it possible to succeed? He seems to be in the early stage of foundation building! How much true energy can an early stage of foundation building have? Where can there be so many people in the early stage of foundation building to fight him?"

"I remember that he came from Changchun Valley and was the young master of Changchun Valley. The Qi of the techniques practiced in Changchun Valley recovers very quickly, and only a small amount of Qi is consumed after a battle. Perhaps he intends to use the characteristics of the techniques to accumulate reputation by taking on the wheel battle. Even if he can't achieve a hundred consecutive victories, this gimmick is big enough. These cultivators from Qianlong Academy make some noise every few days, and this is nothing new!"

On the side, Lin Jing and Songyeshu looked at each other after hearing this. Changchun Valley was very familiar to Lin Jing. It was a sect that specialized in wood magic, just like the Beast Taming Sect, and was located in the wilderness! Wood magic... The soft persimmon that Senior Mosong mentioned was really easy to find. He really had a certain amount of luck.
