Chapter 43: True Disciple

After hearing what Senior Brother Ouyang said, the Pine-Needle Rat immediately wanted to test the difficulty of jumping over Tiandu.

If it were a normal jump, it definitely wouldn't work. The Pine-Needle Rat wasn't a spirit beast known for its explosive power. The two peaks were so far apart, let alone the pressure blocking it. Even if there wasn't, with its current situation, even if it took a Beast Power Pill, it wouldn't be able to jump up at all.

However, although jumping was difficult, the Pine-Needle Rat had the Ye Fei Technique!

It was a means of flying completely, allowing it to leap onto Tiandoufeng.

Swish!

The Pine-Needle Rat flew out in a flash. Senior Brother Ouyang was stunned, but after just a while, the Pine-Needle Rat in flight felt a strong pressure, as if dozens of times the gravity was pressing on its body.

This made the difficulty of its leaf-flying greatly increased, and the pressure was comparable to controlling dozens of flying leaves at the same time. It couldn't do it.

Flying halfway, the Pine-Needle Rat successfully "crashed." Seeing this, Lin Jing said, "Senior Brother Ouyang, catch it!"

"Ah?" Ouyang Hao reacted and immediately used the Whirlwind Technique to roll the Pine-Needle Rat back.

"You gave me a fright. I almost thought it was really going to fly up. No, is this reasonable for you guys!"

"It's a genius," Lin Jing explained.

"Senior Brother, why don't you wish it well? You seem very worried that it will jump up."

The Pine-Needle Rat crawled up from the ground and looked at Tiandoufeng, wanting to try again.

The thing the ancestor didn't do...

It had to do it. Wouldn't it be able to open a new page of the genealogy?

"If you rely on your constitution to jump, you definitely won't succeed, unless you reach the Demon King bloodline. I asked you to practice the Ye Fei Technique before, but you didn't practice. Now you regret it, right?"

The Pine-Needle Rat's red Ye Fei Technique was indeed fierce, but it had always been relying on the magic of the red flying leaves.

It used the red flying leaves, relying on the power of its mind, which had room for growth. If the Pine-Needle Rat practiced on weekdays, after its mind power was improved, its control over the leaves would definitely be able to erupt with stronger speed and power. Jumping over in one leap wasn't impossible.

"Squeak..." The Pine-Needle Rat took off its cumbersome Daoist robe.

It indicated that it would practice when it went back.

"Since there is pressure there, after we go back, I will use 'Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Illusions' to simulate the demon king's deterrence to assist you in training your mind power." Lin Jing smiled.

"But before that, let's go back and ripen the Fire Cloud Chili seeds!"

The spiritual energy concentration in the inner peak was indeed not comparable to the outer peak. Here, whether it was the speed of cultivation or the growth speed of spirit plants, it was much faster than at the foot of the outer mountain.

Another thing that gratified Lin Jing was that Elder Yu didn't cut off his meals in the outer sect cafeteria because he was promoted to the inner sect. He still let the crane deliver meals to him on time every day, greatly reducing the cultivation burden for Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat.

Time passed in a flash. The first-grade fierce plant, Fire Cloud Chili, was successfully ripened by the Pine-Needle Rat, but the yield wasn't high. One chili seedling only produced 20 Fire Cloud Chilis.

"Spirit plants can be so fierce after synthesis. What will happen if fierce plants are synthesized?" The Black Bear Monster came as agreed, and also brought the last Ninth Layer Qi Condensation little white mouse. It saw the bright red chili, and its eyes went black. Before it even ate it, it was scared unconscious.

Opposite, Lin Jing said to the Black Bear Elder, "Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. Spirit plants turn into fierce plants. According to my analysis, fierce plants will likely turn into spirit plants."

"Go, Little Pine, use the Glazed Immortal Pupil." Lin Jing commanded the Pine-Needle Rat. Looking at the fire-red chilis on the ground, it took a deep breath, took off the bamboo leaf eye mask that cooled its eyes, and the Glazed Immortal Pupil was activated!

More than half of the fire-red chilis disappeared, and a... pitch-black chili appeared.

This eerie color made the Black Bear Monster look at Lin Jing. Is this what you call a spirit plant?

It's blacker than me!

Fortunately, it was smart and brought the little white mouse from last time!

It shook it, woke up the little white mouse, and said, "White Mouse Spirit, see that black chili? Eat it. If you survive, I'll give you a great opportunity!"

Although the white mouse was afraid, facing the coercion and inducement of a demon core stage great demon, it still couldn't decide its own fate and could only crawl toward the black chili trembling.

"Don't be afraid! It's just a mutated strain of a first-grade fierce plant. You're already at the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, what are you afraid of! The flames sprayed by ordinary chilis are just mortal fire, not even as strong as the fire for burning a kang in ordinary people's homes! After mutation, I guess it won't be very strong either!" The Black Bear Monster encouraged.

Hearing this, the little white mouse gathered its courage, closed its eyes, and ate the incredibly unpalatable black chili.

The cave dwelling... quieted down.

The Black Bear Monster, Lin Jing, and the Pine-Needle Rat all stared straight at the changes in the little white mouse.

The next instant, the little white mouse looked at the Black Bear Monster and opened its mouth, scaring the Black Bear Monster, thinking it was going to spray it.

Hey! As a result, it didn't spray!

"Huh? This mutation failed, right!" After the Black Bear Monster was stunned, it smiled. It seemed that the rare beast divine ability also had times when it failed.

However, before the Black Bear Monster could laugh for long, its expression suddenly changed. It felt a burst of scorching heat in its soul and quickly looked inside its body, only to find a cluster of black flames burning from the inside out.

These flames didn't burn the flesh, but were ignited on the soul, ethereal!

"The Nether Ghost Fire that the Nether Palace demon cultivators use to burn souls!" It exclaimed, quickly extinguishing the flames, its eyes filled with terror. It's a damn death chili.

"Destroy! Destroy! Destroy it quickly!" It quickly destroyed the remaining Fire Cloud Chilis and pulled out the chili seedlings, saying, "Don't mess with this stuff in the future. This is ghost fire, the core spell of the Nether Palace. If it's mistaken by the Demon-Eliminating Division that our Beast Taming Sect is colluding with the Demon Sect, it won't be good. Our Beast Taming Sect's reputation in the Demon-Eliminating Division isn't very good to begin with!"

Looking at the Black Bear Elder's nervous look, Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat were stunned. Ghost fire?

"Black Bear Elder, can this ghost fire refine pills?"

"You use ghost fire to refine pills—do you want to give them to the living, or to the dead?" The Black Bear Elder glared and said, "I'm begging you, old bear, don't plant this stuff anymore. Even if we aren't demon cultivators, it's troublesome if seen by others, unless you also want to go undercover in the Demon Sect."

"You aren't wanting to use special flames to refine pills? I'll go find a beast fire for you to use first. Be obedient, don't secretly plant this stuff again." This time it wasn't a fierce plant, but a demon plant that would be treated as a Demon Sect cultivator if used!

Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat looked obedient. Since it was a dangerous thing, then don't plant it. Absolutely don't plant it.

The Black Bear Elder looked at the little white mouse that was still alive and said, "You, not bad. I appoint you as the exclusive medicine-testing boy for the future holy son of the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing. Is this a great opportunity?" ===== CHAPTER 45 =====

"Otherwise, why not learn 'Undying Reincarnation'? It wants a few extra lives."

"You're even being picky? Fine, when we encounter a strong enemy later, I'll go first, you cover the rear, and I'll resurrect you afterwards," Lin Jing communicated mentally.
