Immortal through Beast Taming

When the Jiang Family twins awoke from their coma, Lin Jing and the others had already arrived in the ancient realm.

Upon waking, the twins felt sore all over, as if their bones were about to fall apart.

The speed of Shen Song's flight was too rapid, and the cultivation of these two twins was too low, causing them significant strain.

Knocking them out directly could reduce their pain a bit, after all, Elder Mo Song wouldn't kindly consider the flight experience of some irrelevant people.

"Elder, where is this?" Being able to awaken alive, the twins were already very grateful.

"The ancient realm, Hidden Dragon City." Lin Jing looked at the huge immortal city ahead and said.

"We have arrived in the ancient realm?" Jiang Lin was incredibly surprised.

Just like in Lin Jing's past life, many yearned for the capital, cultivators from other regions were naturally very curious about the central domain of the ancient country.

"Hidden Dragon City, could it be the city where the rumored academy is located?" Jiang Qi asked excitedly.

Countless cultivators aspired to this highest Taoist academy of the ancient country, being able to enter here was even more proud than some great sects.

"It seems you know quite a bit. Yes, I am a student of this academy," Lin Jing said, "In the coming years, possibly ten or decades, you both must cultivate here."

"If you cultivate well, I might even send you into the academy to study!"

To enter Hidden Dragon Academy, only a recommendation from a cultivator above the Nascent Soul Stage and passing the assessment is required. For Lin Jing now, getting a recommendation quota was not difficult.

"Can we also enter Hidden Dragon Academy?" With this, the Jiang Family twins suddenly started to believe that Lin Jing might not be a bad guy.

After all, how could such a sacred place like Hidden Dragon Academy allow a demon cultivator to enter?

Although Lin Jing cultivated the Blood Path Demon Technique, raised Gu insects, and intended to use them as containers for Gu insects, there might be a misunderstanding in all of this!

The Jiang Family twins exchanged glances, suddenly feeling the situation wasn't so bad.

"This is for you."

The next moment, cold air surged in Lin Jing's hand, condensing into ice, revealing two tiny spiders the size of fingernails.

Swoosh!

Amidst the shocked expressions of the Jiang Family twins, these tiny spiders flew into their mouths and entered their bodies through their throats.

Ugh!

The two hurriedly pinched their throats, trying to puke it out, bending over and retching.

"These are the Gu insects that will soon parasitize your bodies. They are currently in a dormant stage, so they won't awaken or affect you much."

"Next, find a place to settle down in Hidden Dragon City. I will come back for you once I find the cultivation techniques suitable for you."

"At that time, by cultivating the new techniques, you'll be able to harness the power of the Gu insects, and your strength will undergo earth-shattering changes."

Lin Jing's expression was calm. These two Ice Soul Gu Seed Gu, painstakingly nurtured by the Ice Soul Gu during this time, held the potential to advance to the bloodline of a Gu King. If the twins managed them well, becoming powerful cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage wouldn't be a problem in the future.

After saying this, he transformed into a radiant beam and left the place, leaving behind Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin drenched in sweat. They wore expressions of misery; now that the Gu insects had invaded their bodies, whether Lin Jing was a good person or not, they had no choice but to obey.

...

Upon returning to Hidden Dragon Academy, Lin Jing immediately entered his cave abode.

Returning to his alchemy land and garden, the Dragon Carp and Pine Leaf Mouse were filled with nostalgia.

Now, the Dragon Carp had realized the advantage of mastering a skill. Without Alchemy, it wouldn't have been able to defeat the Ice Soul Gu, which was a whole small realm higher than itself.

And now, with the Ice Soul Gu having reached Foundation Establishment, the Dragon Carp was impatient to establish its foundation and transform into a dragon, while also eager to refine even more powerful pills to deal with the Ice Soul Gu.

"Elder, could I trouble you to help mature the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, Exquisite Grass, and Cloud Hidden Orchid?"

In the cave abode, Lin Jing, planning to seclude himself for two years to prepare for the battle of talents, asked.

These three top-tier Spirit Plant seeds were acquired from the Beast Taming Sect back then.

Seven Spirit Seeds: Shen Song held four, Lin Jing three. Elder Shen Song's four Spirit Seeds had already been matured and refined into avatars to deal with the Yin Corpse Sect's Void Profound Ancestor.

And Lin Jing's three were still in their Spirit Seed state. Although the Pine Leaf Mouse had the capability to mature Spirit Plants, with its Qi Cultivation Stage's cultivation level, maturing such level's Spirit Seeds might take a long, long time.

"You want me to travel, protect you, and exhaust all efforts to mature four Spirit Seeds and quickly refine avatars to deal with strong enemies, and now think of me as livestock?" Divine Pine Dao commented.

Lin Jing bitterly smiled, knowing all too well how much Elder Shen Song had helped him during this trip. With difficulty earning four top Spirit Seeds, he had planned to refine superb avatars, but ended up sacrificing them to counter the Void Profound Yin Spirit.

And eventually... the benefits from the Demon Extermination Bureau came back to him.

"Then, Elder, you rest well. These three Spirit Seeds are not urgently needed. I'll let the Pine Leaf Mouse mature them." Lin Jing decided not to overly rely on Elder Shen Song from now on.

"That's right." Divine Pine Dao replied, "Maturing Spirit Plants is also a process to train one's own strength, so just leave it to it."

"When it was in Qi Cultivation Stage, its Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique had already reached minor success, possessing unmatched prowess in the Foundation Establishment Stage with plants and trees. Now it's in Foundation Establishment Stage, and minor success in Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique is no longer impressive, you must find a way for it to achieve great success."

"By then, combined with its bloodline, it will have the proficiency with plants akin to a Golden Core Stage plant essence creature, useful in both battles and maturing Spirit Plants."

"Understood." Lin Jing nodded, realizing that enhancing proficiency in the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique was actually quite straightforward.

It's just absorbing the life essence of plants and trees.

Yet, given its current cultivation technique level, ordinary plants, even first and second-level plants, could no longer enhance the Pine Leaf Mouse's power.

Back then, Lin Jing and the others used the Tier-2 vicious plant, Bloodsucking Vine, combined with a cheat combo of Longevity Blood to quickly create several superb vicious plants, thus elevating the Pine Leaf Mouse's Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique to minor success.

Currently, trying to advance the Pine Leaf Mouse's Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique to great success can't rely solely on Bloodsucking Vine anymore.

They require more and more high-level Spirit Plants and vicious plants, prioritizing quantity over quality!

Lin Jing secretly glanced at Elder Shen Song, knowing that the fastest method was to directly let the Pine Leaf Mouse absorb Shen Song, but he dared not suggest that.

"In two years, I wonder if the Pine Leaf Mouse's Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique can be improved."

"Those ranked high on the Genius List can all slay Golden Core cultivators, cannot underestimate them, best to achieve great success in Longevity Technique!"

"And it should be time for the 'Dragon Palace Organization' to reciprocate."

Compared to directly purchasing a large number of high-level Spirit Plants, Lin Jing had a better channel.

The Dragon Palace Organization he established!

Members of the Dragon Palace Organization hail from various cultivation sects and cultivation families, possessing their self-grown Spiritual Objects. Directly having them assist in acquisition could save a lot of effort.

In return, they require a large quantity of Dragon Ascending Pills to cultivate dragon pets, and Lin Jing could use Dragon Ascending Pills for barter. This monopolized trade of bartering is far more economical than Lin Jing directly purchasing Spirit Plants.
