Chapter 172: Palm-Weapon Body

"So many?!"

After the Long Gong crowd returned to their accommodation, Xu Zhi took the storage bag Lin Jing threw over. After a divine sense scan, he was startled.

How did he remember that Lin Jing had been using Dragon-Ascension Pills to exchange for high-level plants and wood in the Long Gong for these two years? Logically speaking, he should have exchanged quite a lot. How come there were still so many pills?

"This Long Li of yours that only knows alchemy... it wouldn't have even slept for a single night, right?"

Lin Jing said: "There are Awakening Pills, why sleep?"

Xu Zhi was stunned: "Really didn't sleep? Zi Ling'er's Alchemy Rabbit wouldn't be that miserable either!"

"Just kidding," Lin Jing laughed. "Mainly it's practice makes perfect. Our success rate in refining Dragon-Ascension Pills is already very high."

Plus... there was fundamentally no shortage of materials.

"Alright..." Xu Zhi still suspected Lin Jing abused his pets.

Although, he himself was not a good Beast-Tamer either, always cutting hair.

"Cooperating with any auction house is fine. I hope that within seven days, all these Dragon-Ascension Pills will be sold, and then the spiritual stones obtained... buy as many third-rank or above spiritual plants in Tianji City as possible."

"That's no problem at all." Xu Zhi also likes helping Lin Jing with things, mainly because Lin Jing doesn't freeload off him; every time, he gives him Ascension Dragon Pills as a token of gratitude, unlike his teacher, who uses him as free labor and doesn't even give him spirit stones.

"However, in this way, I won't have time to prepare for the Battle of the Heaven's Pride," Xu Zhi hinted. This Dragon-Ascension Pill could not just be given one.

"The problem is not big. Anyway, you also have a high probability of not being able to advance," Lin Jing said.

Xu Zhi:???

"Brother Lin, although what you said is the truth, can you not stab my heart to my face?"

"You wait. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Thirty years later, I will definitely make you look at me with new eyes." Xu Zhi said angrily.

Lin Jing sighed: "Indeed, this sentence is simply prepared for you. With your situation, Brother Xu, when you serve as a city lord, obtain an official position, and cultivate the Profound Dragon Secret Art to the next stage, combined with the power of official luck, I think there won't be many people who are your opponents. In the future, you will definitely ascend to the forefront of the Heaven's Pride Earth Ranking."

Xu Zhi laughed and said: "I, Xu, have bitterly read the books of sages for many years, just to be a big official in the future. I hope that by then, I can rise steadily!"

Profound Dragon Secret Art third stage, the bigger the official position, the stronger one's own strength. Lin Jing indeed believed that in the future, the Earth Ranking would be Xu Zhi's stage. After all, wanting to be a big official without a background, not grinding time would definitely not work. Fortunately, Xu Zhi had talent. Otherwise, even if he ground time, it would be very difficult to rise high.

Soon, the news that the Long Gong members relied on Dragon-Ascension Pills to cultivate pets spread throughout Tianji City.

And subsequently, even more Dragon-Ascension Pills were auctioned in Tianji City.

And these, Lin Jing himself did not pay much attention to. What he cared about more now was the grouping of the second round of the Battle of the Heaven's Pride announced by Tianji Tower.

If it were one-on-one, Lin Jing would not be very worried. After all, his one-on-one here was actually himself ganging up on the opponent. No one had as much help as he did.

But this eight-person melee... he felt that with his limelight, he would most likely enjoy the treatment of being besieged, so he had to pay attention to it.

"First group..."

"Second group..."

"I am in the third group arena. Besides me, the strongest on the surface is..." Lin Jing was slightly silent.

"Heaven's Pride Ranking third, Yan Xiangbei?"

"How come I was assigned here right from the start."

"Alright, this should not need to worry about being besieged. Eight out of ten, it will be this third Heaven's Pride being besieged. This person is quite tricky... didn't expect to meet him so early."

Lin Jing suspected that because he was a Beast-Tamer and had too many helpers and too many external forces, Tianji Tower brought this person to restrict him.

Yan Xiangbei, disciple of the Fire Domain Immortal Refining Valley, artifact refining genius, innate Weapon-Holding Body, was also a Heaven's Pride who was good at using external forces!

This innate Palm-Weapon Body was also a type of Divine Body, ranked eighty-seventh on the Divine Body Ranking, higher than Wang Xiao's Heaven-God Body.

The Heaven-God Body could let a Qi Refining cultivator easily control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and even draw upon the power of starlight, which was already very perverted. When impacting Deity Transformation, the Heaven-God Body could even comprehend heaven and earth power more easily, which could be said to be one hundred percent Deity Transformation.

And this was still ranked behind the Innate Palm-Weapon Body.

Innate Palm-Weapon Body could let one refine magic treasures far exceeding one's own level, could let the refined magic treasure be driven with low consumption, and exert more powerful might...

Only this one ability.

But just by relying on this ability, every Palm-Weapon Body in history achieved higher than the Heaven-God Body.

According to rumors, this Yan Xiangbei, at the peak of Foundation Establishment, refined a top-grade magic treasure. A top-grade magic treasure, a Foundation Establishment cultivator being able to refine or even drive it, could only be because of being a Divine Body.

Not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators, even Golden Core cultivators, driving a top-grade magic treasure, only had one outcome: magic power instantly drained, strength exhausted and person dead, and also unable to control the magic treasure's power.

But for the Innate Palm-Weapon Body, things that Golden Core cultivators couldn't do, he could do.

At the same time, various Heaven's Prides were making preparations according to the list.

Including Yan Xiangbei, whom Lin Jing attached great importance to.

In a cave dwelling, the orange-haired young man looked at the list in his hand expressionlessly: "The one most worthy of attention is this Beast-Taming Sect Lin Jing."

"However, it is not worthy of me driving a top-grade magic treasure." Although he was an Innate Divine Body and could drive a top-grade magic treasure with low consumption, it was only relative. Foundation Establishment cultivation was still too low. After driving it once, he himself would not feel well, and his divine power would be severely consumed. So he only used mid-grade and low-grade magic treasures in ordinary battles. With his current Divine Body ability, low-grade magic treasures could also exert mid-grade might!

As for top-grade magic treasures, they were left for stronger people, like the first Heaven's Pride Chen Zhong and the second Heaven's Pride Mo Qianyi. These two people, Yan Xiangbei knew very clearly, could not be restrained at all, and could only be broken by force!

"Should I temporarily refine a magic treasure that restrains demon beasts?"

"Previously studied the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's Beast-Taming Ring. Since he defeated Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples, it shows that relying solely on the Beast-Taming Ring's power is not enough to restrain his pets. Then I will abandon the ability to subdue demon beasts based on the Beast-Taming Ring and strengthen the ability to deter demon beasts."

"Besides this, the other party might also hide stronger Buddhist Dharma. Must break his Buddha nature, letting him be unable to perform it. The simplest means to break Buddha nature is 'Heart Desire.' Just so happens I treasure a magic treasure from the Azure Domain's Hehuan Sect. Let's strengthen it again."

"However... I always feel something is missing."

A moment later, one of Yan Xiangbei's tokens received information. After looking at it, he laughed: "Sure enough, according to information from Academy friends, this Lin Jing's pet actually mastered spatial spells. Spatial pet, what a monster. No wonder he could break that assassination tower genius's concealment art. Since that's the case, I will prepare another magic treasure that affects space for you."

"Seven days, a bit tight. Start refining weapons!" With such full preparations, Yan Xiangbei did not know how he could lose. ===== CHAPTER 173 =====

"Seven days is a bit tight. Let's start artifact refining!" With such thorough preparation, Yan Xiangbei doesn't know how he could possibly lose.
