Chapter 30: Accident

"He Yiming, seventh-layer Qi Condensation, pet beast, Fighting Ape, seventh-layer Qi Condensation."

"Qin Caixin, sixth-layer Qi Condensation, pet beast, tree bear, seventh-layer Qi Condensation."

"Ziran, sixth-layer Qi Condensation, pet beast, Fire Spirit Sparrow, seventh-layer Qi Condensation."

Outer Sect.

Inner Sect assessment registration site!

Elder Yu in blue robes personally arrived at the scene to check the cultivation of the disciples who signed up.

Everyone's cultivation realm was quite normal.

Until... Lin Jing arrived.

He walked to the registration desk, and Elder Yu asked knowingly: "Name."

"Lin Jing."

Elder Yu swept with his spiritual sense and said: "Lin Jing, third-layer Qi Condensation, pet beast, Pine-Needle Rat, seventh-layer Qi Condensation!"

After speaking, many Outer Sect disciples muttered.

"Not long ago, that Pine-Needle Rat was only at the fourth layer of Qi Condensation? It's already at the seventh layer, so fast!"

"The key is not that the pet beast is at the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, but that the beast-tamer is only at the third layer, right?"

A beast-tamer at the early stage of Qi Condensation, and a pet beast at the late stage of Qi Condensation, this situation in the Outer Sect... can also be considered very rare.

Of course, no one dared to underestimate Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat. The scrapped mechanical bamboo dragon was the best witness.

And hearing the discussions of other disciples, the Pine-Needle Rat in the Daoist robe with its eyes closed on Lin Jing's shoulder shook its head.

If it hadn't put all its energy into hoarding, it might have been able to reach Foundation Establishment!

The Pine-Needle Rat slowed down its cultivation, which was also Lin Jing's suggestion.

Qi Condensation cultivators establishing a foundation, what they establish is the Dao foundation, which is the process of strengthening their own physique.

Foundation Establishment with a mortal body is one of the few opportunities to cultivate into a postnatal spirit body.

Cultivators with

The same applies to spirit beasts and demon beasts.

During the Foundation Establishment process, one needs to optimize and strengthen their own bloodline, ideally completing a bloodline evolution.

The Pine-Leaf Rat is not a spirit beast with an inherently powerful lineage, so the Foundation Establishment process is particularly important. The Glazed Immortal Pupils only granted it divine abilities and did not strengthen its bloodline species.

Without being prepared with the conditions for a perfect Foundation Establishment, rashly advancing is actually a disadvantage.

Foundation Establishment... is about laying an invincible foundation!

Time passed leisurely; Lin Jing felt that slowly hoarding resources and slowly breaking through was fine.

Lin Jing finished registering and stepped aside, then Senior Brother Ziran walked toward him.

"Junior Brother Lin Jing, your progress is rapid." Senior Brother Ziran greeted him with a smile.

"It's the Pine-Leaf Rat that's rapid; I'm at a turtle's pace," Lin Jing said.

"Junior Brother is being humble. It's fortunate that there is the variable of the Demon Hunting Hall disciples this time, otherwise the assessment would have been too unchallenging for you all," Senior Brother Ziran laughed.

"Is that so?" Lin Jing didn't really care about the Demon Hunting Hall disciples. If they didn't come to cause him trouble, he wouldn't go looking for trouble with them. With so few disciples, the bulk of the points still had to come from demon beasts.

"Of course, the Demon Hunting Hall disciples are all ruthless people. Knowing that the mortality rate of the Demon Hunting Hall's training is extremely high, they still made the determination to join. Those who don't know might think they are all carrying deep blood feuds and urgently need strength to take revenge on Nascent Soul old monsters. To be honest, I really don't want to take the assessment with them."

Speaking of the Demon Hunting Hall, several people from the Demon Hunting Hall arrived and registered one by one.

As for their cultivation, it wasn't particularly outstanding, but the Outer Sect disciples were all clear about their strength.

"I'm the one who needs to take revenge." Senior Brother He Yiming, who had been severely injured by the Demon Hunting Hall disciples, whispered in a corner. After his injuries healed, he luckily broke through to the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

"I feel like Junior Brother Lin Jing is even more unsolvable..." Senior Sister Caixin thought to herself.

Regarding that red flying leaf spell that could turn corners, she still hadn't thought of a way to deal with it.

"Registration ended! A total of 20 disciples are participating in this Inner Sect assessment."

"Next, Elder Li and I will lead you to the outskirts of the Great Wilderness to act as your examiners. Your assessment content is to use every means possible to survive there for 3 days!"

Elder Yu explained the assessment content. It was indeed much the same as in previous years, but the points that could be obtained through competition between disciples had increased, which was likely a change requested by Elder Li.

"Alright, all disciples participating in the Inner Sect assessment, come up." At this moment, a huge flying boat was floating in the sky, but looking closely, it was somewhat different from a flying boat.

It looked more like a fish-shaped demon beast... no, perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as a mechanical beast; it was clearly one of Elder Yu's works.

Elder Li Hai stood on top of the mechanical fish and spoke to the disciples below with an expressionless face.

Before long, all 20 disciples boarded the mechanical fish.

The mechanical fish began to fly toward the wild Great Wilderness on the edge of the Beast-Taming Sect.

On the mechanical creation, the atmosphere among the 20 disciples began to tense up. Whether they were acquaintances or strangers, they had now become competitors, sizing each other up and recalling each other's signature spells.

"We will arrive over the Great Wilderness very soon. Before the assessment, I want to remind you again."

"In the Inner Sect assessment, act according to your ability. Do not do things that exceed your capabilities; this will not give you extra points, but will instead greatly deduct them!"

"Except for Elder Li and me, some elders from the Inner Peak may also secretly observe the assessment process with their spiritual sense, so you must perform well. And in moments of life-and-death crisis, prioritize protecting yourselves and your pet beasts. Once the elders notice, they will immediately take action to save you, but the elders taking action also means you are directly eliminated. Do you understand?" Elder Yu said.

"The disciples understand!" The many Outer Sect disciples bowed in unison.

"This kind of thing shouldn't be said directly. Protecting them so well, how can we test their true level?" Elder Li snorted coldly from the side.

"Whether it's training or assessment, there must be accidents to see the real stuff!"

Many disciples felt that Elder Li was talking without back pain; was their cultivation easy!

But I don't know if Elder Li's crow's mouth was verified, but suddenly, there was a loud "Boom" in the sky, which shocked the mechanical fish. Everyone looked up and saw a large hole appearing in the firmament, permeating with brown light.

"What is that?" The Outer Sect disciples and their pet beasts looked toward the large hole in the sky one after another.

Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat, who were leaning against the edge of the mechanical fish and admiring the scenery below, also raised their heads, their expressions changing.

Because, shortly after this large hole appeared, a thick beam of light shone down with a roar, and the target of this beam of light was not elsewhere, but the mechanical fish, or more accurately, Lin Jing himself!

"What the hell?!" Looking at the beam of light falling with a roar, Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat wanted to dodge, but it was as if they were locked on.

"It's broken, it's coming for us."

Lin Jing's vision went dark. The Pine-Leaf Rat put its claws on the storage bag, but found that among the things it had hoarded, there was nothing that could deal with this situation...

"It wouldn't be the Yinshi Sect coming to grab people, would it? That's not right, this is still inside the sect, so arrogant!"

Their consciousness became blurred, and their vision was covered by light.
