Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 77 Lotus Auction House

"You two, be quiet!"

"Young man, don't talk about fighting and killing all the time. You are still a scholar!"

The voice of the old man guarding the library came inside, calming the angry Xu Zhizhi.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Jing: "Are you really going to do this?"

Lin Jing put down the book and said, "Is there anything wrong with this? Didn't this all really happen?"

Xu Zhizhi clenched his fist: "Of course it's inappropriate, you are planning to use our fame to help you practice the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!"

"That's very wrong!"

"Didn't you listen to what Senior Shulou taught you? Isn't the world of immortal cultivation just about fighting and killing? There are also social etiquettes, right?!"

"How about this?"

"You have no evidence. How can we verify the authenticity of the mechanical creation's achievements? But if I also come forward to build momentum for you, it will be different. The victim himself will come forward to testify and recognize the power of the mechanical creation. It will surely spread widely! In exchange, you only need to add the glorious image of me fighting against the snowfield monks in the cave in the publicity!"

Since he couldn't change Lin Jing's mind, Xu Zhizhi planned to join.

"One more opponent is worse than one more friend. What do you think? The more majestic my image is, the more powerful your mechanical bamboo spear will be. " He tried to convince Lin Jing with his eloquent tongue.

Business flattery, right? Lin Jing was silent.

"That's right." As a veteran library guardian, he nodded slightly, thinking that this was how he played back then.

……

Not long after, Lin Jing left the library.

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, he felt that his idea was correct.

Not to mention the entire ancient country, even in Qianlong City, there are countless battles every day.

No one will be remembered forever. It is normal for names to be forgotten over time.

But...if a person's name is tied to a festival, a popular item, or a special symbol, then it will undoubtedly be passed down longer than ordinary fighting stories.

"Compared to ordinary magic weapons, the advantage of the mechanical bamboo spear is that it does not require true energy to activate, so even if your cultivation level is low, you can use it."

"In addition, the attack distance, power, and frequency are also top-notch among the treasures available to cultivators in the Qi training stage. There are very few items that can possess these advantages."

"The most important thing is that it is easy to make. If there is no array pattern, there are enough materials. I can easily assemble hundreds of them in a day. It's all about the process, no skills are required."

"And the materials used to make the mechanical bamboo gun are not that rare in nature. The raw materials are just ordinary spiritual plants, and the cost is extremely low."

"The most core ammunition, the spirit beans, are as powerful as a serious attack by a ninth-level Qi training cultivator. They are just synthesized from ordinary spirit beans. If these spirit beans fall on the ground in Qianlong City, even wild dogs on the roadside will not like to eat them. The profit is huge."

"The supply of ammunition can be done entirely by the pine leaf rat alone. With its current capabilities, it is very easy to manufacture these. Moreover, the stock it has accumulated these days is more than enough to sell."

"I want to associate the machine gun with my name. Whenever I have an event, people will think of the machine gun I endorse. Whenever the machine gun is used, the viewers will think of me."

"Besides that, if it sells well, it will solve the resource problem."

The only thing that Lin Jing is worried about now is whether the production capacity of pine leaf rats can keep up if the mechanical bamboo gun suddenly becomes popular. Unfortunately, synthetic things cannot be planted a second time, otherwise he could contract a few acres of spiritual fields and let the gun body and ammunition grow freely.

Lin Jing looked at the pine leaf rats that were still stocked with goods in the hanging gourd...

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

It would be nice if I had a lot of pine rats that could only synthesize resources.

Doppelgänger!

He remembered that there was a spell that could create many clones to fight the enemy. Since the clones could fight the enemy, could they be recruited to work?

I believe that the pine leaf mouse itself would not refuse a spell that can speed up the stockpiling process.

……

"Senior Shensong?" Lin Jing called secretly after leaving the academy.

After a while, Shen Song replied: "What's the matter?"

"You have made wooden figures in the wilderness. This method is similar to making clones. Do you know how to make clones? I would like to teach you from Songyeshu."

Shen Song said, "The clone technique? Why learn that rubbish? Ordinary clones are useless, a waste of mana and weak in strength. Your external clones are too low in cultivation, so consider it after you reach the Nascent Soul stage! When you wait for the Qing Emperor's Longevity Technique to be fully developed, you should be able to create plant clones, so just use them!"

Lin Jing asked: "Can the plant clone possess the magic and supernatural powers of the original body?"

"Yes, but the effect will definitely be much worse!"

"Anything gone? No more me to take care of your crappy fish."

Lin Jing laughed and said, "It's nothing. I feel relieved when you say that."

He turned and headed straight for the Lotus Pavilion.

Lotus Pavilion.

As the largest chamber of commerce in the ancient country, there is naturally an auction house inside.

Lin Jing planned to first take a bamboo spear and put it in the Lotus Pavilion for auction to test the waters.

He walked briskly. The pine leaf mouse was in the beast-controlling space, the dragon carp was being watched over by the sacred pine, and he himself was at ease.

The dragon carp... because it has just awakened the top level beast fire, it seems that it cannot control it well. If it is carried around, it may easily cause a fire.

He... doesn't want to be fined again!

As for whether the sacred pine tree would be burned, that was not something he should consider.

Qianlong City is a major city for cultivators, and its fame in the ancient domain is second only to the capital. The Lotus Pavilion here is naturally of a very high level, occupying an entire commercial street.

Whenever you step into this street, it is always a bustling and bustling scene, attracting monks from all directions.

Pills, magic weapons, secret techniques, crystal minerals, spiritual plants, monsters... everything is available and sold.

In the center of the street stands a unique sculpture - a blooming lotus, symbolizing that all the property here belongs to Lotus Pavilion.

There were shops lining both sides of the street. Lin Jing went deeper into them and quickly came to an attic with five large characters "Lotus Auction House" written on it.

He entered the auction house, and immediately a female cultivator wearing a cheongsam with a lotus pattern came over with a professional smile on her face.

"Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The female cultivator said with a smile on her face, a gentle tone and a friendly attitude.

"I want to auction an item." Lin Jing said straight to the point: "A mechanical artifact!"

"Okay, sir, please follow me to the treasure appraisal room." After the cheongsam female cultivator invited, she walked in front with light steps.

Soon, Lin Jing, led by the cheongsam female cultivator, came to one of the treasure appraisal rooms.

In the treasure appraisal room, a man in a gray robe stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Sir, are you planning to appraise spiritual weapons or magic weapons?"

"Master Shi, this young man plans to auction a mechanical device." The cheongsam-wearing female cultivator spoke.

"Oh? A mechanical creation? It's quite rare. I need to take a closer look." He looked at the elegant Lin Jing. He did not ignore Lin Jing because of his seventh level of Qi training. Instead, he made a serious gesture of invitation.

"I want to...auction this item!"

When he saw the appraiser, Lin Jing took out the machine gun from his storage bag.

"Hmm?" Master Shi took a quick look with his spiritual sense and frowned. This mechanical creation, whether it was the blue bamboo material on the outside or the thing resembling a spirit bean on the inside, although it looked familiar, was very different from what he remembered. This was the first time he had seen it!

"What is this for?"

"An offensive mechanism, similar to a hidden weapon, but can also be used openly. It's called a mechanical bamboo spear." Lin Jing replied, "Even if a squirrel holds this, it will have few rivals in the Qi training stage."
