Chapter 60: Choosing a Fire Pet

After Lin Jing woke up again, Elder Yu, Elder Mo, and others all came to visit.

During the time he was asleep, everyone had already learned about what happened in Snow Moon City from the Pine-Needle Rat, which kept gesturing. It was just that under the Pine-Needle Rat's embellishment, the story added a scene of it fighting the companion Gu spider and consuming many spiritual beans for this.

Pine-Needle Rat... requested sect supplies.

Elder Mo casually agreed to this trivial matter. He didn't expect that the mission in Snow Moon City actually involved the Lotus Pavilion and the strange Gu of the Gu God Sect. Furthermore, he didn't expect that in such a short time, an innocent Pine-Needle Rat would become so scheming.

"But... parasitizing the Gu insect in the body... is it really no problem? Junior brother, don't become a demonic cultivator in the end for the sake of raising it," Senior Brother Ouyang worried. Gu insects were not something anyone could raise. He was afraid that in order to raise Gu, he would eventually step into a crooked path and stop at nothing!

"If you can't afford to raise it, definitely don't do evil. You can let it absorb senior brother's power, senior brother will carry it for you!" Senior Brother Ouyang said.

"Such a strange Parasitic Insect... it is indeed a pity not to keep it yourself. Who said Parasitic Insect insects are not beasts? Why can't they be tamed? Since Divine Pine Senior said there is no problem, and Sword Immortal Lingyue of the Demon-Elimination Division didn't say anything, then there should be no problem," Elder Mo said.

"Yes, and controlling puppets and mechanisms also mostly uses the method of true qi turning into silk. Now with the Ice Soul Gu spider silk, it has greater help for his cultivation of mechanism arts and control of mechanism beasts!" Elder Yu was full of mechanism arts.

Lin Jing's mouth twitched a few times. It seems that the black chili pepper that was strongly requested to be destroyed by Elder Black Bear could also be taken out and replanted. Just as the Senior Senior Shen Song said, debt doesn't weigh on the body. Since he was already a container for Gu insects, was he still afraid of becoming a ghost fire cultivator?

"Don't worry about me. If I am unable to control it, I will definitely not force it." Lin Jing raised his head and said: "However, Senior Senior Shen Song Senior said that to perfectly control the Ice Soul Gu, it is best to wait until the Foundation Establishment stage to contract a fire pet to balance the power of the Ice Soul Gu. Speaking of which... in the sect, are there suitable fire pets?"

"Fire pets are good," Elder Black Bear, who was keeping watch outside the door, suddenly came in and said: "If I find you a fire pet, you will have a pet beast to assist in alchemy!"

The implication was that whether the beast fire he promised Lin Jing could be found was now uncertain; Elder Black Bear chuckled.

The Pine-Needle Rat heard this and also felt that fire pets were good, saving Lin Jing from forcing it to eat chili peppers again.

"Fire pets..." Elder Yu fell into deep thought, and then said: "Fire Spirit Sparrow is definitely not okay. It is only a spirit-level bloodline, and it is not considered tyrannical among spirit-level bloodlines. It is okay as a basic pet beast, but wanting to use it to balance the innate Gu King Ice Soul Gu is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"But my Beast Taming Sect... doesn't seem to have a fire pet with a demon king bloodline to provide to Junior Brother Lin, right?" Senior Brother Ouyang said: "Demon king bloodline... in the entire Great Desolate Domain, such bloodlines can be counted on one's fingers."

Elder Mo said: "It is not necessary to pursue a fire pet with a king-level bloodline. The most important thing is... the bloodline must be strong! Strong enough to suppress the Gu King!"

"Ordinary demon beasts don't have this bloodline. Those that have this ability only have... the dragon clan!"

Dragon clan! When Elder Yu and Senior Brother Ouyang heard this, they felt it made sense. In the era when the demon clan had not yet gone extinct, the dragon clan was the head of the demon clan, and no beast could compare to its bloodline strength. Using it to balance the Gu King was definitely the first choice.

"So, just find a demon beast that possesses both fire attribute and dragon blood!"

Elder Mo added: "The reason why it doesn't have to be a king-level bloodline... don't forget, if he goes to the Qianlong Academy later... he will have the opportunity to learn the Qianlong Secret Technique. Senior Cao was right. The Qianlong Secret Technique is the top secret technique for the Beast Taming Sect to cultivate dragon-blood pet beasts."

"With the blessing of the Qianlong Secret Technique, it can definitely evolve into a king-level bloodline fire dragon beast after birth!"

"That's right!!!" Elder Yu realized, almost forgetting this. "As long as it possesses fire attribute and dragon blood, other things will be cultivated by the Qianlong Secret Technique!"

Lin Jing listened and asked: "I remember that the most common dragon-blood pet beast on Jiulong Peak seems to be the Dragon-Blood Carp? But that is a water-attribute spirit beast."

Dragon-Blood Carp was not one of the five basic spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect.

It was because during the Qi Refining stage, the Dragon-Blood Carp's combat power was extremely weak and very dependent on the water environment, unlike the rain frog which could also move freely on land.

Only when the Dragon-Blood Carp leaped over the Jiulong Waterfall and turned into a fish dragon could it be considered a carp leaping over the dragon gate, flying into the sky, and becoming a rare beast that even Foundation Establishment true disciples were jealous of.

However, the Dragon-Blood Carp that could achieve such achievements had not appeared in the Beast Taming Sect for many years and was extremely rare.

"No need to worry," Elder Mo waved his hand: "There are too many dragon-blood demon beasts on Jiulong Peak. This is also the domineering nature of the dragon clan's bloodline."

"In the ancient demon clan era, the dragon clan was in its prime. Because its own bloodline was too powerful, the dragon clan could ignore the reproduction of the race... Over time, there were more and more beast clans in the Tianyuan Continent that possessed dragon blood."

"For other sects, dragon-blood demon beasts might be extremely rare, but my Beast Taming Sect doesn't lack them!"

"Apart from this, the fourth sect master of my Beast Taming Sect also made huge contributions to the diversity of pet beasts in the Beast Taming Sect! You can rest assured. I will communicate with Elder Jiang and see if there is one suitable for you!" Elder Mo didn't look back and left.

The fourth sect master of the Beast Taming Sect might not have been able to reform the sect like the second sect master, making friends widely, and might not have been able to create many beast taming secret techniques like the third sect master, accumulating the sect's technique foundation, but he...

did do something very remarkable.

That was to encourage the spiritual beasts and demon beasts in the sect to mate across races and attributes, assisted by elixirs, to optimize the bloodline of the offspring... Under his lifelong efforts, the Beast Taming Sect indeed gave birth to many strange pet beasts. Some had powerful bloodlines, and of course, some were not as good as the previous generation, but overall, the merits outweighed the demerits.

Among them, under the efforts of the fourth sect master, the breeding among dragon-blood demon beasts was the most outstanding one. Therefore, the disciples of Jiulong Peak... always had extraordinary combat power!

Lin Jing rested for a while, during which many elders came to visit, some he knew, some he didn't.

If Lin Jing were only a Longevity Body, he wouldn't be worth such concern from some elders. Even if the potential of the Longevity Body was high and he had entered the cave heaven, so what? By the time Lin Jing grew up and could help them, they would have been dead for who knows how long.

The reason why some elders were so concerned was because the Senior Senior Shen Song, the guardian deity of Tiandu Peak, which had been silent for thousands of years, had actually come out, and also served as Lin Jing's Dao Protector.

Lin Jing's identity suddenly became hot, and the degree of attention far exceeded Ouyang Hao's.

After all, Ouyang Hao was only a disciple who might become the sect master, and not the only true disciple of the sect master.

Moreover, the sect master was currently just entering Nascent Soul, but the Senior Senior Shen Song guardian deity was already at the Nascent Soul cultivation base during the second sect master's period. Now that so much time had passed, even if it hadn't stepped into Deity Transformation, it should have been at the Nascent Soul perfection. Lin Jing could get the favor of such an ancestor, which was simply a huge stroke of fortune.

However... only Lin Jing himself knew that the identity of this temporary Dao Protector Pine was exchanged for blood. Of course, Senior Senior Shen Song Senior was indeed a good person and helped him and the Pine-Needle Rat a lot.

Elder Mo didn't let Lin Jing wait long before bringing a list, which recorded three kinds of fire-attribute dragon-blood demon beasts!

"Come and take a look." He handed the list to Lin Jing.

One: Early Foundation Establishment, Heavenly Feather Crane.

A variant of the Heavenly Feather Crane clan, possessing the Fire Feather Dragon bloodline. Its feathers can turn into white dragon flames. It is deeply loved by the sect master's wife. Its vision is extremely high, and many true disciples are eager to contract it.

Two: Mid Foundation Establishment, Dragon Lion.

A wild fire lion that mutated after mistakenly swallowing dragon-blood spiritual plants. It was subdued by the Beast Taming Sect and is now one of the outer sect guests of the Beast Taming Sect, waiting for a fated person.

Three: Ninth-layer Qi Refining, Arm-Through-Back Fire Monkey.

A return-to-ancestor of the Fighting Ape clan. Its ancestor was the sect's demon king who passed away, the pet beast of the fourth sect master, a red-scaled ape possessing the Fire Scale Dragon bloodline. ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
