Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 98 Preaching
A cave appeared in Qianlong Academy, and three students entered the tenth level of Qi training in the cave. The matter continued to ferment, and Lin Jing's Qianlong secret technique finally achieved some success, and he was completely transformed into a golden young dragon with luck.

However, although the tenth level of Qi training is extremely rare, it is not as shocking as the ancient prince's achievement. Over the past thousands of years, many geniuses have achieved it by relying on various opportunities. It is not as famous as Lin Jing imagined in the ancient country.

Most of his fame came from discussions among the powerful people in the families and sects behind the candidates, which focused on quality. Among the people, his reputation was only well-known in the ancient domain, but outside the ancient domain, its spread was greatly reduced.

Now, every few days, Lin Jing helps the dragon carp to stimulate its potential, allowing it to grow extremely fast. Combined with the Dragon Scale Fire, its combat power is extraordinary. The combination of Dragon Scale Fire and Ghost Fire is even more bizarre, but it should not be used.

In terms of physical strength, he is even more ferocious, and in terms of defense, he is already on par with the Snowfield cultivator back then, strong enough to withstand the Spirit Bean bomb.

As for alchemy, Long Li, who had a good fire and a good cauldron, became like an alchemy genius after his attainment in fire control. He refined the beast blood pill. Although the success rate was not high, he was still a second-grade alchemist.

These achievements are already impressive for a carp spirit that is widely believed to have no fighting power before leaping over the Dragon Gate.

"I am Cao Ziwei. In three days, I will give a lecture at Tianyi Mountain on the art of treasure hunting."

"Anyone who wants to learn the secret art of the Hidden Dragon can come and listen."

In Lin Jing's cave, Lin Jing had been in seclusion for several days and had just taken care of the dragon carp. Before he had time to conduct in-depth research on the Beast Taming Body and the Ice Soul Body, which he named, he heard the voice of Mr. Cao Ziwei resounding throughout the academy.

This was the first sermon given by a monk after he came to Qianlong Academy. Unfortunately, the content of his sermon was not the technique of marrying a prosperous wife, which was what Mr. Cao was most proficient in, which made many students in the academy very regretful.

However, the four words "treasure hunting technique" also have great appeal. At least Lin Jing has thought about it and is planning to go to attend the class in three days.

……

Tianyi Mountain was soon covered by a huge light curtain that enveloped the sky and the earth.

Three days later, many students from the academy came to attend the class. Some were practicing Qigong, some were building foundations, but as for the Golden Core stage, there was no one.

One after another, the cultivators walked into the light curtain and disappeared without a trace, as if they were teleported to another space.

After Lin Jing and Songyeshu arrived, they also entered the light curtain directly, and then found themselves in a house full of white light.

There were no facilities in the house, but there was a huge vortex of spiritual power in the air, reflecting the figure of Cao Ziwei sitting cross-legged.

"It's a familiar way of teaching." Lin Jing also sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating quietly, waiting for the class to start.

"Squeak..." The pine leaf squirrel slid off his shoulder and lay flat in an independent space, looking at the roof, not understanding why Lin Jing insisted on dragging it along.

"One tuition fee for two people, more economical."

Lin Jing explained it many times. After a while, Cao Ziwei opened his eyes and said, "The time has come. What I will talk about today is the art of treasure hunting."

"The art of treasure hunting and the art of observing qi have many similarities. Both are accomplished through resonance with the qi of heaven and earth."

"In addition, there are many types of treasure hunting techniques. What I am going to teach you next is not how to find rare spiritual plants, spiritual minerals and other traditional treasures, but ancient treasures!"

"Whether it was the Immortal Palace era or the Immortal Alliance era, there have been several wars that swept across the continent, and many ancient treasures are buried in the world. For example, the Sky Region that you are all familiar with is the area with the most ancient relics and ancient secrets of the ancient Tianyuan country, hiding countless ancient treasures and countless ancient opportunities." "In addition to the Sky Region, in fact, no matter which city it is, it has a glorious past. Perhaps a mortal village now was once the retreat cave of an ancient great power."

"The art of finding ancient treasures is to teach you how to explore, identify, and dig for these ancient treasures. Okay, before I start preaching, does anyone have any questions? You can raise them now."

A voice came from the void: "Mr. Cao, this treasure-hunting technique is indeed extraordinary. If you find a powerful ancient magic weapon, you can directly change your life! But isn't the academy generally teaching the art of governing a city?"

Mr. Cao said, "The powerful ancient magic weapons that can be found through treasure hunting have long been found, so why would there be any chance for you? Getting started with treasure hunting requires great talent and great luck. After learning it, ordinary people can only find some ordinary antiques with historical value at most, which are not of much practical value."

"So when the time comes, you can dig up ancient artifacts in the city you govern, build an antique pavilion, and display these antiques for people to visit, thereby increasing the historical and cultural heritage of the city you govern. In this way, wouldn't it be a contribution to governing the city?"

Students: "..."

Lin Jing: "...History Museum, right?"

The students of the academy knew that what they taught in the academy was definitely not any serious magic, but since they were already there, for the sake of their future official career, they decided to finish their studies patiently.

……

For three consecutive days, all the students listened to the lectures in a daze. Compared with the spells cast by using one's own true energy, this treasure hunting technique was too obscure. In addition to using special methods to gather spiritual power in the eyes, it also required to sense the heaven and earth and feel the pulse of history, so that they could see the rising light of the ancient treasure as time passed.

"For the next ten days, you can practice the art of treasure hunting here on your own. Don't be too demanding. If you are not interested, you can leave now. After practicing for a few days, if you feel that you do not have the talent for treasure hunting, you can leave on your own."

"I have placed many ancient artifacts here. If you can find them using treasure hunting techniques, they will belong to you."

After the sermon was over, the students found themselves coming from a small independent space to a huge mountain range. Lin Jing and Songyeshu were no exception. This mountain range was even larger than the Beast Taming Sect's sect address, with hundreds of continuous peaks. It was unknown how many ancient treasures were hidden there.

Lin Jing sat cross-legged on a huge rock, half-closed his eyes and entered into a state of tranquility, sensing the so-called pulse of history. After a long time, he sensed nothing, his eyes were sore, and he did not see any light of the ancient treasure at all.

"It seems that I don't have this talent." He sighed, not really wanting to waste his latent dragon luck to learn the treasure hunting technique that he had no talent for.

"What about you? Didn't you see the ancient light either?" He asked the pine leaf mouse that was sitting cross-legged on his shoulder. During this period, he also let the pine leaf mouse attend classes with him. He didn't know what the pine leaf mouse's talent was.

"Squeak..." The pine leaf mouse was extremely silent throughout the whole process. He had not dared to speak before. He always felt that something went wrong when learning the art of treasure hunting.

"Squeak?" It asked Lin Jing, are you sure that spiritual beasts can also learn this treasure-hunting technique?
"Mr. Cao said that the practice of treasure hunting is not restricted by race. It was not created by humans." After Lin Jing finished speaking, Songyeshu nodded.

It rubbed its eyes, its eyes bright and it was sure that something was wrong, because in front of it, the whole mountain was filled with the light of ancient treasures, especially a mountain far away. Compared with the faint light in other places, it was as dazzling as stars, almost blinding its glass fairy eyes.

"Squeak..." The pine leaf squirrel said that he probably saw hundreds of lights.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing fell silent.

Are you a hoarder or a treasure hunter? What does "hundreds of lights" mean?
