Chapter 212: Longevity Body Deterrence

After seeing off the first pair of distinguished guests, Lin Jing continued to lie down and read.

One person and three pets, except for the Ice Soul Gu, were all exceptionally busy.

The Ice Soul Gu had no choice; it had frozen and hibernated itself, entering a state of suspended animation to avoid being found by the Gu God Sect through special secret methods.

Regardless of anything, the Ice Soul Gu was an object of the Gu God Sect, so being careful was always good.

And the Fire Qilin Dragon was refining elixirs in the Zen staff pendant that had been transformed into an alchemy cave. Most of the elixirs in this Nameless Elixir Pavilion, including the Taotie Elixir, currently required it to provide them.

As for the Pine Needle Rat, it was the busiest one.

In its suspended gourd, it was planting the three great spirit seeds obtained from splitting the spoils with the Demonic Pine: Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, Nine-Life Exquisite Grass, and Cloud-Hidden Ghost Orchid!

All were treasures of a higher grade than the Holy Fire Lotus from just now.

These treasures were currently all in an immature state. Even though the Pine Needle Rat's Longevity Art had reached completion, it had not yet fully ripened a single plant.

Had he known he would be separated from Senior Shen Song, Lin Jing would have said anything to get Senior Shen Song to help ripen them. How could he be looking at them now but unable to use them?

Currently, the Pine Needle Rat was prioritizing the ripening of the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom.

This Divine Ganoderma is a fifth-rank fire-attribute treasure. According to Senior Shen Song, once the Fire Qilin Dragon reaches the Golden Core stage, eating this will be enough for it to break through from the early Golden Core stage to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, gaining the ability to attempt the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Lin Jing's plan was to collect various strange fires while ripening the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, let the Fire Qilin Dragon form a core, and condense an invincible flame demon core...

Afterward, the Fire Qilin Dragon would be limited by the contract and stuck at the early Demon Core stage, but that was not a big problem, because at this time, the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom would likely not have ripened yet.

Taking advantage of this time, he would work hard to form his own core, thereby unlocking the pet beast's realm restriction...

At that moment, the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom should have ripened no matter what.

By then, the early Core Formation Fire Qilin Dragon could use this top-grade spirit item to charge from the early Demon Core stage to the Nascent Soul realm in one go. With its Demon Emperor bloodline, there would definitely be no bottleneck from Core Formation to Nascent Soul.

Ultimately, the Golden Core stage Lin Jing, cooperating with beast taming secret arts such as "Body Integration" and "Beast Transformation Treasure Tool," would drive the Nascent Soul stage Fire Qilin Dragon. Lin Jing himself would be equivalent to immediately obtaining Nascent Soul-level combat power!

Cooperating with the Fire Qilin Dragon's violent rare beast divine ability, there would be few opponents even below Soul Transformation.

In the situation of possessing Nascent Soul-level combat power, if Lin Jing also successfully cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body, then as long as he was willing to burn his life, he would have the qualifications to challenge powerhouses!

After all, by then he would likely possess nearly ten thousand years of lifespan to burn...

He would be invincible below Soul Transformation, and cooperating with the Life-Burning Demonic Art, by then, whoever coveted his Longevity Body, he could bite them like a mad dog.

In this state, his

Longevity Body would not only suffer a sharp drop in nutrition due to burning lifespan, but would also obtain super combat power to counterattack. No matter how you calculated it, trying to capture him would be a losing business.

Most of the Longevity Body's nutrition would be gone, and one would still have to prevent the other party's counterattack, so one would have to weigh whether it was worth it.

And besides ripening the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, the Pine Needle Rat's other task at the moment was to find its own path to Core Formation!

Lin Jing wanted to form a core, but he still could not escape the drive of his pet beasts.

Besides that, in order for the Glazed Immortal Pupils to evolve and synthesize resources other than plants, its method of forming a core also needed to be relatively special.

It needed to evolve from a wood-attribute Pine Needle Rat into a five-element attribute Pine Needle Rat!

And the method was the Tree Man Elixir!

The Tree Man Elixir, one of the elixir formulas referenced when refining the Longevity Foundation Establishment Elixir back then, was an elixir that could add plant organs to a body...

These plant organs were the key.

Just like the Holy Fire Lotus and the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, which were plants while also possessing fire attributes, what Lin Jing needed to do was to find four types of plants suitable to become the Pine Needle Rat's new organs, containing "Gold-Wood," "Water-Wood," "Fire-Wood," and "Earth-Wood" properties, and fuse them with its body.

Afterward, the five elements would surround the wood element, circulating in a mutually generating cycle, and the Pine Needle Rat would have the opportunity to form a five-element demon core, allowing itself to thoroughly possess five attributes.

Although he did not know if this could stimulate the evolution of the Glazed Immortal Pupils, the Dao of the Five Elements was incomparably tyrannical and would definitely not drag down the Pine Needle Rat's growth.

However, the choice of these four other attribute plant organs was also quite particular.

Because he needed to research the Tree Man Elixir refined with them as the core, these plants must be in huge quantities, so that there would be plenty of opportunities for trial and error to improve the Tree Man Elixir.

Therefore, high-grade spirit plants like the Holy Fire Lotus and the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom had to be abandoned. Although they were good, Lin Jing and his group did not yet have the ability to improve such spirit plants into the Tree Man Elixir.

However, if they were just ordinary first, second, or third-grade plants, they would not appear strong enough.

Therefore, the Pine Needle Rat's own synthesized items became the optimal solution.

Just like the Fire Cloud Chili back then, it was just an ordinary first-grade fierce plant, but after synthesis, it could bring Netherworld Ghost Fire, becoming even rarer and more tyrannical than high-grade spirit plants!

So during this period, Lin Jing needed to collect low-grade plants in Qingzhou that possessed extra attributes such as "fire attribute," "water attribute," "gold attribute," and "earth attribute," to let the Pine Needle Rat synthesize them and see which synthesized item was suitable as an organ material, modify it into a Tree Man Elixir, and integrate it into the Pine Needle Rat's body.

Among them, Lin Jing already had a candidate for the gold-wood attribute spirit plant, which was the anti-injury Adamantine Wood synthesized from the shell of the Mosquito Power Mecha!

It could reflect most of the damage received back to the enemy, very suitable for modification into the skin of the Pine Needle Rat Demon King's true body's wooden body.

If he could not find a more suitable gold-attribute plant as an organ later, Adamantine Wood would be Lin Jing's first choice.

As for the fire-attribute, water-attribute, and earth-attribute plants, Lin Jing had not synthesized any suitable ones in the academy. Now that he had settled on the Qingzhou commercial street, he began to search again.

Qingzhou was rich in special plants, and the range of choices was much wider than in the Ancient Kingdom.

"Fellow Daoist, the one hundred portions of 'Explosive Fruit' and one hundred portions of 'Sun Grass' you ordered have arrived."

Not long after, Lin Jing, who was sitting leisurely, welcomed the second guest...

Rather than a guest, it was better to say it was a cultivator from a spirit plant shop not far away.

Before opening this elixir pavilion, Lin Jing had ordered two types of fire-attribute second-grade plants from the other party on the way, which cost him quite a few spirit stones.

Explosive Fruit and Sun Grass were both specialty plants of Qingzhou.

Among them, the Explosive Fruit was a fierce plant and fierce fruit. Its effect was similar to a spirit bean bomb; once it collided violently, it would explode, producing an explosive fluctuation like a fireball, which could even blow up Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Back then, when Lin Jing wanted to purchase one hundred Explosive Fruits, the boss next door pondered for a long time, guessing what Lin Jing wanted to do.

As for Sun Grass, it was a spirit herb that enhanced fire-attribute spirit power. After taking this spirit herb, cultivating fire-attribute spells and techniques under the sun would be extremely efficient.

Lin Jing just wanted to see what kind of mutation would occur when these two types of fire-system plants were synthesized through the Glazed Immortal Pupils, and whether they were suitable to become the Pine Needle Rat's new plant organs.

"The goods have arrived, synthesize them." With the precedent of the Fire Cloud Chili, Lin Jing was still quite looking forward to the changes after they were synthesized. For example, would they bring a new type of strange fire like the Fire Cloud Chili? By then, the Fire Qilin Dragon would be able to drink soup along with it.

"Squeak?" In the gourd, the Pine Needle Rat stopped ripening, took off its straw hat, raised its head, and revealed a sharp gaze. ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
