Chapter 61: Gambler
"Thank you, Elder Mo."
Lin Jing took the list and looked at it simply. He only felt that the foundation of the Beast Taming Sect in rare and exotic beasts was indeed powerful.
No matter which one of these three he used as a Foundation Establishment pet beast, he felt they were good.
Heavenly Feather Crane, can be used as a flying mount, convenient for travel.
Dragon Lion, a large demon beast, looks more domineering than the Pine-Needle Rat.
Arm-Through-Back Fire Monkey... Lin Jing's gaze moved. Isn't this Monkey Brother?
After reading it several times, Lin Jing had a difficult choice. He asked: "There is not much information on it. Does Elder Mo have any recommendations?"
"Ahem." Elder Mo coughed dryly: "These three are all good, but they all have some small problems to varying degrees. I will tell you about them, and you can choose for yourself."
"For example, this Heavenly Feather Crane, its personality is arrogant and it doesn't like to be ridden."
"Doesn't like to be ridden? If it doesn't like to be ridden, what is the use of contracting it?" Lin Jing frowned.
"This Dragon Lion, because it didn't grow up in the sect since childhood, its sense of belonging to the sect is not strong. Every time it works, it always likes to 'talk about spirit stones'."
"The disciple still likes pet beasts with a spirit of dedication," Lin Jing looked at the Pine-Needle Rat napping by the bed.
With the precedent of the Pine-Needle Rat "bringing capital to join the group," this Dragon Lion instantly became dull.
"Is it still Monkey Brother after all." Lin Jing thought in his heart.
Who knew, Elder Mo added: "This Arm-Through-Back Fire Monkey, because its identity is special, is a bit pampered... it might need to be severely disciplined later."
Lin Jing:???
"Elder... doesn't our sect have any normal pet beasts?" The feelings of the three on this list were not easy to serve.
At this time, the Pine-Needle Rat opened its eyes and woke up. Lin Jing looked at it, and the more he looked, the more pleasing it was.
"There are still many pets with normal personalities... but isn't the problem that it needs to possess both dragon blood and fire attributes? Are there too many restrictive conditions?" Elder Mo chuckled and said: "Actually, choosing a pet is just like a mortal taking a wife; how can there be such perfection? Everyone just makes do, and as time passes, they become more and more compatible."
Lin Jing was still not satisfied: "Are there only these three?"
Elder Mo hesitated for a while and said: "Not necessarily."
"These three are from the perspective of talent and potential, which are more suitable for you."
"I learned from Elder Jiang, who is in charge of the sect's hundred beasts, that in fact, there is another demon beast that possesses dragon blood and fire attribute, but... it is just..."
"It is just a bit strange. That is a Dragon Carp on Jiulong Peak, a carp that mutated into a fire attribute!"
"Because of the mutation of the attribute, it... doesn't like swimming. Compared to swimming in the water, it prefers to soak in the hot spring like a salted fish."
"In this way, it is even more impossible to 'leap over the dragon gate' with the help of the 'Nine Dragons Waterfall' and complete bloodline transformation."
"..." Lin Jing completely lost the idea of picking a dragon-blood fire pet in the sect.
"Elder, anyway, I am still far from the Foundation Establishment stage. When I go to the Qianlong Academy, I will see if there is a dragon-blood fire pet suitable for
"Actually..." Elder Mo suddenly paused and said: "Actually, if you value a pet's personality more, choosing this Long Li is quite good."
"Compared to the other three, this Long Li's intelligence has not yet been awakened, and it cannot remember things yet; like a blank sheet of paper, it is more suitable for a Beast Master to raise."
"You can cultivate it in whatever direction you want!"
"If you still value potential more... looking at it from another angle, it is not bad either."
"Long Li are very ancient dragon-blooded demon beasts. Almost the entire clan is water-attributed. Suddenly mutating into a rebellious child means that its ancestors... must have had a dragon beast with extremely powerful fire-attributed bloodline; otherwise, it would be impossible for fire to suppress water after so many generations."
"At least in the Beast Sect, no one has ever tried to crossbreed a Long Li with a fire-attributed demon beast. In other words, its ancestral bloodline cannot be verified and did not originate from the Beast Sect's intervention, so there is a great possibility here."
"To put it broadly, it is even possible that its ancestor was a Flame True Dragon; it is just a gamble on its extraordinary bloodline. Given its situation, although it is difficult for it to leap over the Longmen, if cultivated with the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, it may not be impossible to achieve a similar evolutionary effect and complete a bloodline transformation."
"If the gamble succeeds, you might just obtain a dragon pet with even stronger bloodline potential than the other three!"
Damn, a gambling addict!
Hearing Elder Mo's words, Lin Jing was slightly silent, remembering the incident where the other party used a special physique to gamble on a pet mutating into a rare beast.
He really is... fond of taking a gamble on luck.
This is not a very good behavior.
"How about it, do you want to bet?" Elder Mo smiled inscrutably.
Lin Jing also grinned and said: "Actually, there is another benefit to raising a Long Li."
"What?" Elder Mo was startled.
"Compared to the extraordinary Heavenly Feather Crane, the Arm-Through-Fire Monkey, and the Dragon Lion that only talks about 'spirit stones'... it is easier to raise."
"I just like this kind of pet that looks very easy to raise!"
"Elder Mo, I'll bet! Do you want to place a wager too?" Lin Jing had no other choice; indeed, this Long Li looked more malleable.
Moreover... he truly wanted to personally cultivate a pet capable of "leaping over the Longmen" and completing a species transformation to see what would happen.
Elder Mo's breathing quickened, and he said: "As expected of the disciple I brought back!"
Beside him, the Pine Needle Rat was slightly silent; two gambling addicts! Although its Glazed Immortal Pupils... seemed to have been gambled into existence.
After Lin Jing chose his pet, Elder Mo went to help him retrieve it.
If he had chosen the Heavenly Feather Crane, the Dragon Lion, or the Arm-Through-Fire Monkey, Lin Jing might have had to spend some effort to contract with them.
But this mutated fire Long Li that Elder Mo spoke of was currently only at the third layer of Qi Refining, not even as high as Lin Jing's cultivation, and it hadn't even awakened its intelligence, so it was completely up to the sect to decide how to handle it; the Long Li itself had no thoughts at all.
That day, Elder Mo brought the fire Long Li over.
He used his magic power to control a round glazed fish tank floating beside him, with the Long Li inside.
The fire Long Li was just like its name, its whole body as red as flame, very gorgeous, but its dull eyes made Lin Jing certain that it truly hadn't awakened its intelligence.
"Elder, why is it so fragrant?" Lin Jing looked at the fish tank Elder Mo had set down, seeing it bubbling and boiling inside.
It seemed like the fire Long Li was spitting fire in the water.
"Elder Jiang said that this guy still can't control its fire power well and is always on the verge of boiling itself; this water is naturally fish soup."
Lin Jing:???
Damn, this isn't just lacking intelligence, this is a moron.
Once contracted, won't it turn into the legendary "Hundred Fragrance Rabbit" and mutate into the rare beast "Boiled Fish"?
Elder Mo said: "Keep an eye on the Pine Needle Rat, don't let it steal a drink, and don't you steal a drink either. In our Beast Sect, eating a fellow sect disciple is a major taboo! Don't you treat it as a backup ingredient."
"That is the behavior of the Mo Sect!"
Lin Jing said: "That certainly won't happen, we aren't hungry to that extent yet."
