Chapter 143

"Did you finally discover me?"

The mysterious girl in the white dress had the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Accompanied by Lin Jing's gaze, she flew lightly to Lin Jing's front. A fragrant breeze wafted over. Lin Jing frowned, only to see this girl in the white dress grab his wrist directly.

Slap!

Lin Jing shook off the other party's hand and smashed a Golden Body Fist directly at her, but it was resolved by the other party in a light and breezy manner.

"Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose?"

Longevity Body...

The white-dressed girl's lips moved, causing Lin Jing's expression to change slightly. How did this guy know he was a Longevity Body?

"Don't be nervous. I am Bai Yuran, a twenty-seventh generation disciple of the Heavenly Secret Tower. I have no malice toward you." The white-dressed girl smiled slightly, clapped her hands, and said, "I was just confirming it again just now. Now it seems I was indeed correct."

"A disciple of the Heavenly Secret Tower?"

Lin Jing had thought the other party was from the Demon Suppression Division, had thought she was the Sect Master's foster daughter, and had even thought she was from the Yinshi Sect, but he had never thought she was from the Heavenly Secret Tower.

However, the Heavenly Secret Tower claims to know everything under heaven, so it's not strange that they could directly deduce that he is a Longevity Body.

"What are you looking for me for?" Lin Jing asked. Disciples of the Heavenly Secret Tower rarely walk the cultivation world and almost never interfere in worldly affairs. How could she suddenly come to the Beast Taming Sect's Holy Son canonization ceremony?

Bai Yuran looked at Lin Jing with sadness and sentimentality, saying, "Little brother, you possess a Longevity Body, so your fate is destined to be full of hardships. In the future, who knows how many monsters who call themselves emperors and ancestors will be eyeing you."

"What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Lin Jing shook his head and said, "This shouldn't have anything to do with your Heavenly Secret Tower, right?"

"The Nanshan Demon Emperor who suddenly appeared in Dragon City must have been aiming for you, little brother, right?" Bai Yuran extended a finger, shook it, and smiled, "Although you were lucky and escaped that tribulation, what if there is a next time? You surely won't be this lucky every time, right?"

"But if someone could deduce the future for you, allowing you to know months or even years in advance when the crises on your body will arrive, then even if you are a Longevity Body, you have a high probability of living to the end. You'd agree, right?"

"Do you mean that you are that person?" Lin Jing asked.

"You guessed right!" Bai Yuran patted her chest and said, "As the most outstanding disciple of the twenty-seventh generation of the Heavenly Secret Tower, I want to cooperate with you and deduce the crises that may soon happen to you. How about it?"

Lin Jing was expressionless. If someone offers a favor for no reason, they are either a traitor or a thief.

"Speak directly."

"I won't hide it from you," Bai Yuran said. "When disciples of the Heavenly Secret Tower perform Heavenly Secret techniques to deduce the heavenly secrets, most of the time it is done at the cost of damaging their own lifespan."

"Therefore, cultivators of the Heavenly Secret Tower will not easily perform major deductions. However, the Heavenly Secret Tower is located in the cultivation world, and it is inevitable that many powerhouses will come to the Heavenly Secret Tower for deductions. So, within the Heavenly Secret techniques of the Heavenly Secret Tower, there exists a small trick."

"When performing a deduction related to the fate of a specific person, if this person cooperates, then the subject of the deduction can replace the user of the Heavenly Secret technique and consume more than ninety-nine percent of the lifespan damage."

"So, do you understand now?"

Lin Jing nodded, understanding: "You deduce the future, and you will most likely suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, damaging your lifespan. But you have a way to let the subject of the deduction bear the lifespan damage for you, and since I am a Longevity Body, you feel that even if I lose some lifespan when you deduce for me, it won't be a big deal."

"Relatively speaking, after you deduce for me, you should also be able to gain some benefits, such as the power of the Heavenly Secret technique."

"You guessed right again!" Bai Yuran smiled slightly and said, "Compared to the crises you might encounter, a little lifespan doesn't have much impact on you, right?"

In Bai Yuran's eyes, Lin Jing is a walking power extractor. Ordinary people would definitely not have as many hardships as Lin Jing, and for most cultivators, lifespan is extremely important. Only a Longevity Body can squander it without much concern.

Bai Yuran felt that as long as she could reach a cooperation with Lin Jing, she wouldn't need to stay in seclusion in the Heavenly Secret Tower for eighty years at all. Soon, her Heavenly Secret technique would reach small success, and she could walk the world.

"I really am a popular commodity." Lin Jing felt helpless himself. He didn't reply to Bai Yuran immediately; knowing the other party's identity was enough for now. At this time, the canonization ceremony was about to begin, and as the protagonist on the Beast Taming Sect's side, it was time for him to appear.

"Little brother, consider it again. I can give you a divination for free! You have a sign of great misfortune in the near future!!!" Bai Yuran waved her hand as she saw Lin Jing leave.

At this moment, above the Beast Taming Sect's plaza, the Dharma forms of several great Demon King ancestors were suspended in the air, their demon power surging. Under the summons of the ancestors, Lin Jing also began to appear.

"Is he Lin Jing?"

There were no portraits on the Heaven's Pride Ranking. Many cultivators were seeing Lin Jing for the first time. His clothes were as white as snow, and his long, jet-black hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, fluttering gently in the wind, appearing very uninhibited and handsome.

"This child's strength is indeed terrifying."

Although Lin Jing had hidden his cultivation, many powerhouses couldn't help but sigh with emotion when they saw Lin Jing's eyes, which were as deep as an icy abyss. The two disciples from the Beast Taming Gate also paid extra attention to Lin Jing, but unfortunately, they didn't see anything else.

The ceremony officially began. Lin Jing walked slowly up the Beast Taming Sect's hundred-step cloud ladder. Behind Lin Jing were the Elders of the Beast Taming Sect. They held their own beast-taming magic treasures, their expressions solemn, following him step by step.

Walking to the end of the cloud ladder, Lin Jing stopped. Afterward, the second-generation Sect Master's pet, the ancestor Wang Batian, condensed into a human form with magic power. He held a simple and unadorned turtle shell in his hand, watching Lin Jing.

This is the sect's beast treasure, the turtle shell shed by the ancestor Wang Batian. Only by obtaining the token of at least one Demon King ancestor can a Holy Son of past generations be truly considered the successor of the Beast Taming Sect. The ancestor Wang Batian slowly raised the turtle shell and said loudly to the four directions: "Today, we officially canonize Lin Jing as the sixth-generation Holy Son of our Beast Taming Sect. May he carry on the past and open up the future, and make our Beast Taming Sect strong!"

After speaking, Lin Jing took the turtle shell: "I, Lin Jing, will definitely not fail the high expectations of my predecessors. I will use the Beast Path to prove the Dao, guard the sect, spread the prestige of our Beast Taming Sect, and let the light of the Beast Path shine upon all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

"Hahahaha, good." The several great Demon King ancestors laughed heartily.

"On such a grand day, there must be some sparring to help the fun. Today, our Beast Taming Sect's Holy Son has just succeeded to his position. I wonder if any Heaven's Prides of the Great Wilderness would like to challenge him?"

After the canonization was completed, Lin Jing waved his sleeve and instantly sat cross-legged in front of a cloud table in the sky, picking up a teacup.

"Challenges are fine, but it's best to pass the true disciples' test first. Not everyone is worth me taking action."

According to the procedure, the Beast Taming Sect's true disciples would block a pile of challengers with mediocre strength for Lin Jing, reducing Lin Jing's consumption.

And at this moment, Lin Jing himself was playing with the turtle shell that the ancestor Wang Batian had given him...

"It feels useless. I should have been given a mechanical bamboo turtle instead."
