Immortal through Beast Taming

"This blood pool...!"

Before long, a member of the Dragon Palace arrived outside the blood pool. It was the Dragon Palace's exclusive alchemist, Zi Ling'Er, sitting on a giant muscular rabbit.

Her giant rabbit, sensitive to auras due to many years of testing medicines, found this place immediately after descending upon the Cangmang Mountain Range.

Upon arriving, Zi Ling'Er gazed at the blood pool filled with demon beasts, her expression changed.

"The Dragon Blood Medicine Pool!" She concluded that if her Dragon Blood Medicine Rabbit could soak here for a period, it could easily break through from the mid-stage Foundation Establishment to the late-stage Foundation Establishment, and the purity of its bloodline could be greatly enhanced.

"But this group of demon beasts..." The Dragon Blood Pool contained dozens of Foundation Establishment Monkey Demons soaking in it, and there was even a Monkey King at the Foundation Establishment Peak. Zi Ling'Er felt she could not drive them away on her own, nor did she believe they would allow her to soak with them.

She had already vaguely sensed the warning from the monkey group towards her...

"Zi Ling'Er, you are here too." At this moment, another figure arrived.

Upon seeing who it was, Zi Ling'Er immediately showed a joyful expression; it was none other than Yuan Jing who rode a gigantic mantis demon beast!

The Great Sword Mantis, a wind-attributed demon beast, was massive, known as a "master of sword and blade" among demon beasts. After purchasing the Dragon Ascending Pill, Yuan Jing went to capture a Great Sword Mantis for training and taught it swordsmanship; they often practiced sword arts together.

"Yuan Jing, this is the Dragon Blood Medicine Pool. It greatly benefits Dragon Blood Demon Beasts and human cultivators alike. Let's quickly find other Dragon Palace members to jointly drive these Monkey Demons away!"

Zi Ling'Er began to feel grateful for joining a student organization, for relying solely on personal strength, she feared she couldn't claim this blood pool.

"So it was this blood pool that attracted it." Yuan Jing calmed the mantis demon that wanted to charge forward.

"This blood pool has great allure for Dragon Blood Demon Beasts. We needn't seek them out. Any cultivator with a Dragon Blood Demon Beast should find their way here soon."

Zi Ling'Er nodded in agreement, and the two retreated a distance to stand guard. Sure enough, it wasn't long before one Dragon Palace talent after another arrived, the pulse of the blood pool acting as a signal rapidly gathering the Dragon Palace members.

After Zi Ling'Er's explanation, the Dragon Palace talents quickly understood the significance of this blood pool for them!!!

"We have enough people now, let's drive away the monkey group!" Zi Ling'Er observed the gathering of over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators and Dragon Blood Demon Beasts, feeling they now had the strength to drive away the monkey group.

"What a waste it is to just drive them off!" strategized Xu Zhizhi of the Dragon Palace Intelligence: "If we can subdue these Monkey Demons, wouldn't each of us gain an extra Dragon Blood Pet Beast? Take a look at their already evolved bloodlines, saving on the Dragon Ascending Pill! Even if we lack the ability to cultivate a second pet beast, we could capture and sell them to newcomers wanting to join the Dragon Palace, turning a profit. Remember, in over a year, it's recruitment season for the academy..."

"Yeah, what a waste to drive them off." spoke Gao Sheng from the Dog Households on horseback: "With dozens of Monkey Demons, let alone the Dragon Blood Foundation Establishment Stage, even without any cultivation, each with a Mechanical Bamboo Spear would still have significant utility!"

At present, the Dragon Palace crowd not only wanted to claim the blood pool, but also the monkey group soaking inside.

The school's autumn hunt was fundamentally about hunting and taming demon beasts, merely claiming the blood pool indeed seemed lacking.

As the Dragon Palace members grew eager, another person arrived, but not from the remaining Dragon Palace cultivators!!!

"Roar!!!"

Divine Prince Wang Xiao appeared, clad in silver armor, riding a war tiger, descending from the clouds with a heavy landing, raising clouds of dust. Although not a Dragon Palace member, he evidently sensed this extraordinary place due to his Dragon Blood War Tiger.

"Wang Xiao..." Yuan Jing's sword floated upwards.

Arriving, Wang Xiao merely spread his Divine Sense to grasp the situation, expression unfazed: "I came here looking for Lin Jing."

He looked at the Dragon Palace crowd, asking: "Is Lin Jing not here?"

"If he doesn't come, you might not be able to guard this Dragon Blood."

At that moment, Wang Xiao realized it was Lin Jing's problem for being unable to breakthrough Qi Cultivation. There was no need to restrain himself for the sake of fairness by ceasing challenges or suppressing his own realm in battle.

Wang Xiao's quick breakthroughs were his own capability.

In future encounters with weaker opponents, he didn't believe he should always suppress his realm for a fair fight.

He decided to defeat Lin Jing once with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, encouraging Lin Jing to diligently enhance his realm to pursue him, rather than waiting for Lin Jing to breakthrough for a fight.

Now, he had reached mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

Having realized this, Wang Xiao's thoughts flowed unhindered. With Dragon Blood Battle Beast in hand and his cultivation at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, he even considered aiming for the Heaven's Chosen List!

"Divine Prince Wang, interested in cooperation?"

"There shouldn't be any issue accommodating dozens of people with the monkey group's current situation." Xu Zhizhi quickly spoke, worried that Wang Xiao might compete with them.

"This place is destined to be tumultuous hereafter. It's better to jointly drive away the Monkey Demons and guard against external foes, sharing the Dragon Pool."

Wang Xiao glanced at the bald-tailed fox on Xu Zhizhi's shoulder, ignoring the invitation due to his haughty demeanor, more focused on Xu Zhizhi's pet beast, wondering if it was a Dragon Blood Pet Beast. Where was its fur?

As Xu Zhizhi extended the invitation, a voice echoed from the heavens.

"A group of rookies should abandon thoughts of claiming such a precious place, better to withdraw obediently while it's not too late."

The newcomer, cloaked in black, with a cultivation of Great Perfection Foundation Establishment, also had a Dragon Blood Pet Beast beneath him!!!

Though the bloodline's strength hadn't reached the king level, it was very close.

This person stood atop a Foundation Establishment-fulfilled flood dragon, exuding a terrifying aura and a cold expression.

"Ancient Domain Chu Family, rank ninety-eight in the Heaven's Chosen List, Chu Ren." Many recognized his identity.

The Divinity Transformation Ancestor of the Ancient Domain Chu Family had nurtured a Dragon Blood Demon King, spawning countless descendants. Seeing this person, Gao Sheng was briefly taken aback, having forgotten that such a person might also possess a Dragon Blood mount!

At this moment, Chu Ren coldly regarded the Dragon Palace crowd, and since Lin Jing hadn't decided to sell him the Dragon Ascending Pill formula, he didn't plan to be courteous with the emerging force of the Dragon Palace.

"What if I refuse?" The next moment, unexpectedly, it was Divine Prince Wang Xiao who looked up at Chu Ren, speaking disdainfully.

"You..." Chu Ren retorted coldly: "Has the Wang Family's Qilin Child joined this so-called Dragon Palace? Playing house?"

"I've long heard of the Chu Family's wastrel reputation." Wang Xiao unsheathed his battle knife, planning to use this lowest-ranked Heaven's Chosen as an initial sacrifice, as Lin Jing was absent, to satisfy his desire to reach Heaven's Chosen List.

"Brother Xiao, impressive!!!" Seeing this, Gao Sheng momentarily froze before egging him on: "Defeat him, and you'll be on the Heaven's Chosen List! Mid-stage Foundation Establishment entry, how domineering!"

Chu Ren also brought out his magic treasure; the atmosphere grew tense, with a major battle about to erupt. But just then, everyone's expressions suddenly shifted once more.

Boom!!!

The Dragon Transformation Blood Pool emitted towering ripples, the Demon Power surged to the skies, catching the attention of the major demon creatures across the Cangmang Mountain Range. Within the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Foundation Establishment Monkey King had successfully condensed a Demon Pill, breaking through to the Demon Core Stage.

"A Demon Core Stage great demon?" Meanwhile, Lin Jing, having completed the taming of the mosquito beast, opened his eyes, looking into the distance.

"This autumn trial is truly terrifying..."
