Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 96 Sickness
Until the end of the cave, Lin Jing and Songyeshu were unable to break through to the eleventh level of Qi training. Instead, Bingpo Gu was one step ahead of them and reached the eleventh level of Qi training.

This situation shows that Bingpo Gu's talent is far superior to Lin Jing and Songye Mouse.

It was still too difficult for the Immortal Body to break through. If I had another body type, I might have already reached the eleventh or even twelfth level of Qi training. However, there was still a chance...

Lin Jing, who had already walked out of the cave, guessed that he now had contracts with the Ice Soul Gu and the Pine Leaf Rat. As long as the two pets established their own foundations first, the spiritual power feedback from them after establishing their foundations would help him break through.

By then, maybe we can go a step further.

After Lin Jing came out, he did not hide his cultivation level, but openly displayed his and Songyeshu's realm. This was an opportunity to practice the secret art of Qianlong!
"Even the pet... has reached the tenth level of Qi training..." The cultivators at the scene were quite surprised. They had not expected this situation at all.

Xu Zhizhi and Gao Sheng looked at Lin Jing in shock. No, how come Lin Jing had already reached the tenth level of Qi training!

Wang Xiao and Chen Lingxi were even more shaken. Their original strong momentum was now suppressed by Lin Jing and Songyeshu.

Even the cultivator surnamed Wang and the woman from the Divine Talisman Sect, two powerful men who had reached the perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, were observing Lin Jing with great attention.

"Who is this boy?"

"Could it be..." Only Gao Sheng suddenly thought of something and understood what was going on.

Facing the shock and confusion of the crowd, Lin Jing came out and said to Cao Ziwei: "Chief Examiner, the student used the secret method in the secret realm, which consumed too much energy. He may not be able to preside over the examination temporarily. He needs to return to the cave to recuperate."

Cao Ziwei nodded, noting the abnormality in Lin Jing's body. He was indeed under a heavy burden. Given the realms of both Lin Jing and Lin Jing, it was indeed possible to achieve this only by using special methods and forcibly hunting down numerous dragon and phoenix projections.

"Go ahead."

With Cao Zi's approval, Lin Jing clasped his fists towards everyone, then flew towards the cave. With the reputation of both a beastmaster and his pet having entered the tenth level of Qi training, this assessment... might as well not continue.

After returning to the cave, Lin Jing immediately jumped into the stove, startling the sleepy dragon carp inside.

Long Li was delighted to see Lin Jing finally come back after several days, but he was also confused.

What kind of illness did the beastmaster have? How could he get into the fish tank without being afraid of the burn?
"Much more comfortable." Lin Jing jumped into the stove and immediately felt his body warm up. After the Ice Soul Gu broke through to the eleventh level, the feedback of ice attribute spiritual power was too strong. Although it greatly increased his cultivation, it also made his Ice Soul body even colder.

In addition to the frequent use of cold air in the past few days, Lin Jing couldn't stay there as soon as he came out. He no longer had any desire to continue fighting. He just wanted to get comfortably into the warm stove on this cold day.

The Dragon Scale Fire is indeed a top-level beast fire. Although the Dragon Scale Fire's cultivation level is not high, it can already alleviate the burden on Lin Jing's Ice Soul Body.

Lin Jing lay in the Cauldron of Beasts for a week, during which time he fell into a deep sleep and slowly digested what he had gained.

As for the dragon carp that lost its fish tank, it had already learned from the pine leaf rat the shocking news that it had missed the cave and that the second contract position in the forest realm had been occupied by the ice soul Gu.

"Boom!!!!" The dragon carp felt extremely aggrieved, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. It was clearly it that came first!!

"Squeak..." Songyeshu comforted, it seems that it was really the Ice Soul Gu that came first, and you, the Flame Dragon Carp with thick eyebrows and big eyes, seemed to have picked it up specially in order to better contract the Ice Soul Gu in the future...

After hearing the consolation, Long Li turned evil directly, with ghost fire lingering around his body. Although he had not seen the Ice Soul Gu yet, he had already become hostile to it. Following the advice of Songyeshu, he practiced hard to control fire, determined to prove to Lin Jing that he was better than the Ice Soul Gu.

It is the second one.

Looking at the dragon carp working hard to practice, Songyeshu nodded with satisfaction, feeling that he had done something very meaningful for the beastmaster.

A week later.

Lin Jing wakes up.

"Awake?" When Lin Jing woke up, he heard laughter beside his ears.

"Nice catch, kid."

"Senior Shensong?" Lin Jing recognized the voice and asked, "Why are you here at the academy?"

"A cave appears. How can I not pay attention to it?!" Shen Song said unhappily, "You have reached the tenth level of Qi training and you have already contracted the Ice Soul Gu. You are in trouble."

Lin Jing said: "I had no choice but to do this. The opportunity to visit the cave is rare, and I really don't want to miss it."

"You did a great job!" Shen Song said with satisfaction, "Now the outside world only knows that you and your pet have broken through to the tenth level of Qi training together with Chen Lingxi and Wang Xiao. This has already made you famous. If they knew that you have contracted a Gu worm at the eleventh level of Qi training, I can't imagine what their expressions would be!"

"But it doesn't make much sense. It's a good thing that no one knows about your Ice Soul Gu now. You should always keep some cards in your hand. Don't worry, unless a Spiritualization cultivator who specializes in spiritual consciousness unethically breaks through the seal in your body to investigate the situation, ordinary people can't tell that you have Ice Soul Gu sealed in your body."

After Shen Song finished speaking, Lin Jing looked at the back of his hand. The color of the luck dragon had changed to purple gold, reaching the first level of perfection. He was not far from becoming a golden dragon and completing the secret method. Perhaps if the news spread for a few more days, he would be able to succeed.

"Although you didn't go through the complete academy assessment, and didn't defeat that godly body on the spot, the news that the three of you passed the cave and reached the tenth level of Qi training is more eye-catching than any academy assessment."

"After that godly body came out, he continued the assessment with the tenth level of Qi training and defeated the foundation-building sword cultivator. His reputation spread far and wide. And your reputation is no less than his. Not only did you defeat Chen Lingxi, who also entered the tenth level of Qi training, but you and your pet have both reached the tenth level of Qi training. Most people dare not even think about it."

"Now the outside world is discussing who is more powerful between you and Wang Xiao, the Heavenly God Body. Hehe, let's ferment it for a while. There is no rush to fight him. Wait until he becomes more famous. Then you can defeat him and gain more reputation. The current reputation is enough for your cultivation."

"Thank you, Senior Shensong." Lin Jing thanked him, thinking that Senior Shensong had been protecting him these days.

Shen Song said: "No more talking! It seems like someone is coming to see you, I won't stop them this time!"

After saying that, Shensong escaped from the academy, and outside the cave was a young man in black.

"Brother Lin!" Gao Sheng walked out of the cave and said, "I brought you some fairy delicacies cooked by high-level yang and fire attribute spirit beasts from Xiankelai. I came to visit you. Are you okay? Can I see you?"

The door of the cave was opened, Gao Sheng entered, and saw Lin Jing who had just crawled out of the furnace.

“Brother Lin!” Outsiders may not know what happened to Lin Jing, but Gao Sheng must know. He smiled and said, “Congratulations, you have reached the tenth level of Qi training! You must have used the power of that thing in the cave, right?”

“Yeah.” Lin Jing did not deny it and said, “Without it, I would not have been able to kill so many dragon and phoenix projections.”

"That's great." Gao Sheng said with envy, "Although I am well prepared, I am still a little short of the tenth level of Qi training. This rubbish mortal body is a burden to me... I want to build a foundation as soon as possible and cultivate an acquired immortal physique."

Lin Jing smiled, and Gao Sheng continued, "By the way, my grandfather told me through voice transmission that the door of the Demon Exorcist Department will always be open to you. You don't have to worry about the Ice Soul Gu. At present, only my grandfather, Sister Feng, and I know about it in the Demon Exorcist Department."

“Even the Lord of Snow Moon City had his memory of the Ice Soul Gu erased by my grandfather. The incident in Snow Moon City was treated as a normal riot by a cultivator of the Gu God Cult.”

"Also, this is for you." He took out a black token and said, "This is a special token from the Demon Exorcist Bureau. With this token, even if you use Ice Soul Gu in the future, it will be considered a special permission from the Demon Exorcist Bureau and you will not be treated as a demon cultivator. If you are chased by righteous people... just take out the token."

"Thank you..." Lin Jing took the token with a look of surprise.

"What are you thanking me for? Now that the assessment is over, I have successfully entered the academy. Once we have completed our foundation building, we will team up together to solve the case!" Gao Sheng laughed and took out a table full of delicious food and wine from his storage bag.

"I don't want you to solve the case with the Ice Soul Gu, causing both you and I to be misunderstood."

"..." Lin Jing was speechless. Why was this guy still obsessed with this matter?

"Okay." Lin Jing looked at the table full of delicious food and wine, as well as the special token of the Demon Exorcist Bureau, and said, "Wait for me to build my foundation."

Although he agreed, Lin Jing felt that it might take a very long time before he could build his foundation.

Before he was fully prepared, he was not in a hurry to build his foundation. Now that his life span has been extended, he plans to study peacefully in this academy for ten years before considering building his foundation.

"Eat and drink!" Lin Jing picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, but the next moment, he felt nauseous and spat the chicken leg on Gao Sheng's face opposite him.

"What is this? It tastes so bad!" He was stunned.

"Ah?" Gao Sheng was not angry, but looked surprised: "Impossible, this is all made for you by the chef I hired at Xiankelai. It is a delicacy that can definitely suppress the power of Bingpo Gu!"

He also picked up a chicken leg and tasted it, saying, "It's not that bad."

Lin Jing took another bite and vomited again. He felt it tasted so bad that he couldn't swallow it at all.

"I'm probably sick." Lin Jing felt nauseous. Cold and hot really can't go together.

"It's over. I know what happened." Gao Sheng was stunned and said regretfully, "It must be that you have tasted the deliciousness of dragon liver and phoenix marrow too many times in the Dragon and Phoenix Cave Heaven, causing your taste buds to mutate!!! I have been eating delicacies from land and sea since I was a child, so it's okay and I'm not deeply affected. But as for you..."

Lin Jing's eyes went dark. How could this cave have such a bad side effect? ​​Was it the same with the pine leaf rat?

Although he can now fast, eating delicious food is one of the great pleasures in his life, how can he deny it!

"Is Fellow Daoist Lin Jing here?"

"I am Wang Xiao from the Wang family." At this moment, although Lin Jing planned to fatten up Wang Xiao before killing him, Wang Xiao could not forget the pressure he felt when he looked into Lin Jing's eyes, so he came to challenge him.
