Chapter 107: Killing

"A pinecone?!"

"Daring to ask for a pinecone to refine a 'Foundation Establishment Pill', when refining a 'Nascent Soul Pill', wouldn't you dare to dig out the tree heart?"

Although it had as many pinecones as it wanted, Shen Song strongly condemned Lin Jing's behavior of setting his sights on it.

Good grief! It hadn't even asked for the Longevity Blood yet, and the other party was already eyeing its fruit!

"Senior..."

"Hehe." Shen Song sneered: "Wanting a pinecone is not impossible. You just need to do one thing."

"Hmm? Senior, please speak." Lin Jing was overjoyed. As long as it could be discussed, everything else was easy to talk about!

"You have practiced until now, and you should have never killed anyone."

"You are only at the Qi Refining stage now, and one seclusion lasts for three years. This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that your cultivation hasn't increased at all. I can't imagine how long you will be in seclusion after reaching Foundation Establishment!"

"I observe this hundred-year period will pass very quickly. Before I leave, I must let you be able to stand on your own, so that I can rest assured when I leave, and it can be considered worthy of the life-saving grace of your second-generation sect master! So... I want you to go kill people to hone yourself!"

"Killing your own kind and hunting demon beasts are completely different feelings. Go kill at least one hundred people, and I will gift you a pinecone to help you establish your foundation!"

"..." Demon Song's request made Lin Jing fall silent.

Kill one hundred people...

"Oh, the requirement must be cultivators! You must kill them with your own hands; you cannot let your pet beast help." Demon Song added.

"Killing..."

The condition for obtaining the pinecone made Lin Jing's head grow large.

In the past, no matter what kind of battle he was in, he had never had the intention to kill humans. Even when facing snowfield cultivators from other domains, he only severely injured them, and in the end, it was Xu Zhi who delivered the finishing blow.

Demon Song asked him to kill one hundred people in one breath. Lin Jing felt a bit difficult for a while, but for the pinecone... he was incomparably eager.

"In the Beast Taming Sect's Mission Hall, one can often see missions to suppress mountain bandits. If they are mountain bandits who murder for money, or demonic cultivators like the Yin Corpse Sect who traffic in people, killing them is just killing them, and I won't be unable to bring myself to do it."

"However, the Ancient Domain is known as the domain with the best public security among the nine domains of the Ancient Kingdom. At the foot of the Imperial City, where are there any mountain bandits or demonic cultivators for me to suppress?"

"Could it be that I really have to follow Gao Sheng's suggestion and form a team to go across domains to suppress demonic cultivator strongholds?" Lin Jing walked in the academy, talking to himself.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of something.

Lin Jing rose into the air by controlling Qi and flew toward the direction of Gao Sheng's cave dwelling. When he arrived, he happened to see Gao Sheng stuffing an Ascending Dragon Pill into the mouth of a dragon horse.

"Eat, give it to me!"

Gao Sheng said while stuffing it. The dragon horse was very resistant.

"Eh?" Gao Sheng, who was feeding the horse, noticed Lin Jing's sudden visit, immediately tidied his clothes, shook the saliva off his hands, and enthusiastically said to Lin Jing: "Brother Lin? What's the matter? We just parted ways, why did you chase after me again."

He suddenly became alert.

"You aren't still eyeing my horse, are you!"

Lin Jing was speechless. Gao Sheng's Dragon-Horned Horse did indeed have a decent lineage and showed promise of condensing a demon core, but now that he had a Long Li with Fire Qilin bloodline, he naturally would not be as covetous as he had been in the past.

"Brother Gao, have you ever killed anyone?" Lin Jing asked directly.

Gao Sheng was stunned and recalled: "Naturally, I have. Early on, in order to cultivate me into an excellent demon-suppressing guard, my father had me execute a death-row prisoner at the Qi Refining stage when I was six years old."

"That's it!" Lin Jing took a deep breath and said: "I wonder if Brother Gao has any connections to send me to the mortal government office or the Demon Suppression Division to serve as an executioner for death-row prisoners who have committed heinous crimes!"

"Ah?" Gao Sheng was dumbfounded and said: "Are you crazy!"

"Why do you want to do such dirty and tiring work?"

He became alert again and analyzed: "No, something is wrong. You brat wouldn't have picked up some demonic cultivation technique with 'killing intent' or 'evil intent' as the core, right."

Lin Jing rolled his eyes: "How is that possible? I have the Ice Soul Gu, so why would I look down on such low-end demonic cultivation techniques."

"That's true. Demonic cultivators who mainly cultivate killing intent and evil intent mostly gathered in third-rate demonic sects." Gao Sheng agreed.

"Such third-rate demonic sects that can be wiped out by the Ancient Kingdom cannot compare to the Gu cultivation Great Dao."

"It has nothing to do with demonic cultivation. It's just that a senior of mine feels that my cultivation path is too comfortable and intends to let me kill people to hone myself." Lin Jing corrected.

Gao Sheng frowned: "Killing people? This is not the same as killing demon beasts. It is extremely easy to be entangled by evil intent and killing intent, affecting one's state of mind and hindering cultivation."

"Hmm... However, it's just a shallow attempt. Then use special pills to eliminate the evil intent, and there should be no problem."

After pondering, he said: "I'll help you find a way. Give me a few days, wait for my news."

"Thank you." Lin Jing knew that Gao Sheng was reliable. Traveling abroad, having connections was indeed very important. Demon Song senior's such difficult task wasn't solved?

Just at this moment, the dragon horse beside him spoke.

"Was there any more of the pill just now? I originally thought you were going to grant me death, but I didn't expect it to be a real treasure! My bloodline purity has improved a lot!"

"I told you it was a treasure, it was a treasure!" Gao Sheng looked at the dragon-horned horse unpromisingly and said: "Is it a treasure or poison, can I not distinguish it?"

The dragon-horned horse said: "I was just worried that you couldn't distinguish it."

"Hehe..." Lin Jing laughed on the side and said: "Brother Gao, to thank you, your Ascending Dragon Pills will be enough in the future. As long as you provide one main material, 'Dragon Blood', I will prepare the other materials and help you refine them for free."

"Really or fake?!" Gao Sheng was extremely happy: "Does the dragon horse's dragon blood work?"

Dragon horse:?

"A bit weak... it needs to be at the Demon Core stage cultivation."

Gao Sheng shook his head regretfully, and then said seriously: "Easy to say, easy to say. You can rest assured and go back. Within seven days, I will get it done for you!"

Having obtained Gao Sheng's help, Lin Jing returned to the cave dwelling with peace of mind, continued to refine Ascending Dragon Pills with Long Li, improved his alchemy attainments, and laid the foundation for refining the Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill...

A few days later.

Under the promotion of Xu Zhi, this clever person, more than half of Hidden Dragon City knew the result of the battle between the Divine Body Wang Xiao and the Long Li.

In a teahouse, several cultivators were listening to music, drinking tea, and chatting.

"Have you heard? That Fire Qilin Son of the Wang family, who is expected to enter the 'Heaven's Pride Ranking', actually lost to a ninth-layer Qi Refining Long Li!"

"How is that possible? Did you drink too much? Isn't the Divine Body already Foundation Establishment?"

"It was a battle with suppressed cultivation! Although the Long Li's cultivation is not high, its bloodline is very terrifying, reaching the 'King level'. If it were just like this, it couldn't be the opponent of a Divine Body of the same level. But unlike ordinary Demon King bloodlines, that Long Li is a pure dragon race King blood, and even a Divine Body is difficult to handle!"

"A Dragon King cub?! Is it a demon pet raised by an academy teacher?"

"No, it's not! Do you remember Lin Jing of the Beast Taming Sect? This Long Li was cultivated by him using special pills and the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique after three years of seclusion! It is said that all the Qi luck he accumulated in the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique was used to cultivate the dragon pet, intending to contract it after Foundation Establishment!"

"I also heard that the Beast Taming Sect was sealed, and Lin Jing intends to rebuild a Dragon Taming Sect, recruiting troops in the academy, intending to be the sect master himself." ===== CHAPTER 108 =====

"I also heard that the Beast Taming Sect has been sealed, and Lin Jing intends to rebuild a Dragon Taming Sect, currently recruiting in the academy and planning to be the Sect Master himself."
