Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 78 Propaganda
"Can we give it a try?" Master Shi became interested when he heard it.

He loves to identify these strange and new things.

"No problem." After Lin Jing nodded, Master Shi opened another door behind him, leading to an open air space.

Seeing this, the cheongsam female cultivator took her leave.

"You said this mechanical device is quite powerful. Did you make it?"

Holding the machine gun, Master Shi asked curiously.

After all, even if a squirrel holds it, it can be almost invincible in the Qi training stage. This is really too arrogant.

Many auctioneers like to exaggerate the effects of the items they are auctioning.

What their appraisers need to do is to verify or expose counterfeits!
"Yes." Lin Jing nodded.

“Then I’d like to see…” After saying that, he threw the mechanical bamboo spear to Lin Jing, condensed his body-protecting energy and said, “Use this to attack me, and I’ll experience its power myself!”

"There are not many appraisers as dedicated as me now." Master Shi did not forget to express his feelings.

"Okay." Lin Jing held the bamboo spear and pulled the trigger. The opponent was a foundation-building cultivator and had been prepared in advance, so he would definitely not be hurt by the mechanical bamboo spear.

"Water Arrow Technique? There is no water array pattern engraved inside, how did the water arrow come out... So this blue spirit bamboo has this effect."

"What does it mean that the beans were swept out by the current?"

"You activated it without using your true Qi? It looks like a purely mechanical creation."

Master Shi chattered on and on until the first spirit bean exploded.

boom!
Master Shi was engulfed by the blast, his body energy trembling. He raised his head slightly and said, "What a powerful force! It turns out that this bean can explode!"

Second second.

"Wait, how come all the beans came out in an instant!"

Boom boom boom boom!
The spirit beans exploded at the same time, causing a strong fluctuation of spiritual power. The sound resounded through the sky and made Master Shi's hair fly.

The third second, the fourth second...

Lin Jing changed the magazine with one hand, and attacked continuously without stopping. Master Shi felt the drastic consumption of his true energy. He shouted hurriedly: "No! Stop, stop, don't these beans cost money? Why are you using them like this?!"

"Are you here to auction things sincerely, or to kill me? Stop it now!" He looked at the situation and knew that Lin Jing would not stop unless he blew himself up.

Lin Jing stopped firing and said, "Isn't this to show you its attack frequency?"

Master Shi looked at the rubble around him, his mouth twitched, and he said, "I already know! Your mechanism is not suitable for fighting, but for attacking the city."

"Are you from Shenji Villa? How do you plan to set the price, sir? In addition to the mechanical bamboo gun, will these beans be equipped together?" Master Shi pursed his lips and looked at Lin Jing. Shenji Villa was the number one force in the ancient country's mechanical arts.

This mechanical bamboo gun has extraordinary firepower and can fire dozens of bombs of amazing power in an instant without the need for true Qi to activate it. Such a mechanical device is indeed a huge killing weapon for those in the Qi training period.

The most important thing is that Lin Jing doesn't seem to feel sorry for the single fierce bean that is as powerful as the second-level "explosive talisman". This is terrifying when you think about it carefully. It makes him think that this may be a cheap mechanical material newly developed by Shenji Villa!

"A bamboo machine gun and 500 beans."

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "The starting price doesn't matter. I can also give Lotus Pavilion a higher commission. I only have one request."

"Hmm?" Master Shi was puzzled: "What?"

"This item has an extraordinary origin. I hope Lotus Pavilion can publicize it widely before the auction."

"Oh? What's its origin?" Master Shi became interested again. The price of something with a history and something without a history may differ by several times!
"Master Shi, do you know Lin Jing, the talented disciple of the Beast Taming Sect?" Lin Jing asked in a low voice.

Master Shi was stunned for a moment, and recalled: "I remember that he defeated a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the academy in the south of the city yesterday? I heard others mention it."

"Did you know that this Lin Jing was chosen by Bodhi Cave Heaven when he was at the third level of Qi training?" "I didn't know that! No wonder he is so strong." Master Shi was surprised: "How did this mechanical creation have a connection with the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect?"

“Master Shi, you know that besides Lin Jing from the Beast Taming Sect, those who were sucked into that cave included Xu Zhizhi, the proud disciple of Master Xu from Tianyun City in Wenyu! Zi Ling’er, the alchemy genius from Danding Sect in Huoyu, and Yuan Jing, the young master who was the number one in the outer sect of Tianjian Sect at that time!”

"Now, Xu Zhizhi, Zi Ling'er, and Yuan Jing have all entered Qianlong Academy as special recruits. They are gifted and have extraordinary potential."

Master Shi: "I have also heard of these people. They have indeed entered the cave heaven. I didn't expect that the Beast Tamer Sect's Lin Jing also entered with them! I heard that the young hero Yuan Jing has already established his foundation and cultivated a post-natal sword body. His strength is amazing. As soon as he entered the foundation, he defeated a casual cultivator in the late foundation stage with one sword! Zi Ling'er is also amazing. It is said that she has refined a top-grade foundation-building pill by herself. She may be able to establish a foundation soon!"

Lin Jing nodded and said, "Master Shi, do you know that among the three Bodhi trees in the Bodhi Cave, the best golden and silver Bodhi trees were not obtained by these geniuses, but Lin Jing and his pet monopolized two of them?"

"What?" Master Shi was stunned. Is this true?

“To be honest, Master Shi, the Beast Tamer Sect’s genius disciple Lin Jing used the mechanical bamboo spear I made. He and his pet, Songyeshu, each had a spear, and they were able to suppress these three geniuses. It can be said that the Beast Tamer Sect’s Lin Jing is the biggest winner of this cave heaven! But without my mechanical bamboo spear, he would never have been able to do this.”

"Whether it's a genius in literature, alchemy, or swordsmanship, they were all defeated by this mechanical bamboo spear."

Master Shi remained in a daze. How could this be?

No wonder the young man just said that even a squirrel holding a machine gun can practice qi and become invincible.

"I hope that before the Lotus Pavilion auctions off the Mechanical Bamboo Spear, it can emphasize its achievements in battle! After all, this is a fortune-suppressing item that allowed a third-level Qi training master to suppress three ninth-level Qi training geniuses without any injuries."

Master Shi swallowed his saliva. He had never expected that this mechanical bamboo spear was actually related to several new-generation geniuses who were quite famous in Qianlong City. He said, "But your words are not enough. How can I know whether what you said is true or false?"

"At Lotus Pavilion, we will not use this kind of unconfirmed information to promote the auction items."

Lin Jing said: "Haha, I won't hide it from Master Shi, I am Lin Jing, and now I have become a student of the academy. If you don't believe me, I will bring Xu Zhizhi over to testify!"

Master Shi: ???

Damn it, you really didn’t come here to auction items sincerely. After going around in circles, you came here to ask the Lotus Pavilion to help you advertise for practicing the secret art of Qianlong!

……

Relying on word of mouth, the speed of news dissemination is bound to be slow. No matter in the past life or the present life, news and public opinion are controlled by major forces. As a top force, the Lotus Pavilion, even if it is a branch in one city, has a considerable influence. Lin Jing directly used the power of the Lotus Pavilion to promote himself and the mechanical bamboo gun.

Not long ago, Lotus Pavilion announced the information of the latest auction, as well as the items to be auctioned. It also sent invitations to its VIPs, which contained very detailed introductions to the items to be auctioned.

Among them, many cultivators were slightly startled after seeing the mechanical bamboo spear in the list. At this time, the heat in the forest had not yet dissipated.

"Mechanical bamboo spear? The weapon carried by the Beast Taming Sect's Lin Jing in his early years?"

"What? This Lin Jing was actually chosen by the Cave Heaven! No wonder he is so strong. It turns out that he got an opportunity in the Cave Heaven. His future is immeasurable!"

"The academy's geniuses Xu Zhizhi, Zi Ling'er, and Yuan Jing, have entered the same cave heaven with Lin Jing? But they were all robbed of the best cave heaven opportunity by Lin Jing, who was at the third level of Qi training, using a mechanical bamboo spear? Is this true or false?"

"It's true. The genius of the academy, Xu Zhizhi, responded. He said that no matter who holds this bamboo spear, they will be almost invincible after building the foundation. At that time, he was also defeated. It's all true!"

"I heard that Xu Zhizhi, for the sake of the country's destiny and to prevent the opportunities of the ancient country's cultivators from being taken away by foreign cultivators, first killed a terrifying Snow Plains cultivator. He consumed a lot of energy and failed to grab the opportunity. It's a pity. I wonder if Xu Zhizhi, in his prime, can compete with this mechanical creation."

"Lin Jing showed up at Xiankelai for dinner, left a message saying 'Xu Zhizhi, not bad!' and then left!"

"I'm curious, what kind of mechanical creation can allow a low-level disciple from a third-rate sect to snatch an opportunity from a group of geniuses from big sects! How can a beastmaster in this Lin realm know mechanical arts?"

"Great stuff, I'm going to buy it for my illegitimate son to protect himself!"

The Lotus Pavilion did not promote it deliberately, but every time they announced the list of auction items, it would attract the attention of a large number of cultivators. Some were happy and some were worried. Seeing that Lin Jing revealed their cave experience for fame, the female alchemist of Danding Sect was sulking in the cave because some sisters had already asked her if she had really been beaten by a squirrel.

The biggest winner was undoubtedly Lin Jing. Before the mechanical bamboo spear was auctioned off, a few days later, the Qianlong mark on the back of his hand turned from white to light blue. Yesterday's fame and today's fame fermented each other, making him known to more people.

Of course, the biggest loser must be the pine leaf rat. When it saw Lin Jing taking so much ammunition from the warehouse... it immediately let out a ghost howling sound!
