Chapter 71: Hidden Dragon Secret Technique

The Heavenly Origin Ancient Kingdom has nine domains, and the Ancient Domain is one of them.

In the Ancient Domain, Hidden Longcheng, Hidden Dragon Academy, has always been known as the cradle of immortal officials.

Any cultivator who walks out from here can mostly become an immortal official of one side, gain dragon luck, and from then on, the immortal path is smooth.

In the center of Longcheng, in a corner of the academy, stands a quiet, antique pavilion. The pavilion is based on bluestone, with red wood as the skeleton, and flying eaves and upturned corners, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly, elegant and solemn.

At this time, immortal light permeates the pavilion, accompanied by ripples of space, and a white-shirted teacher transmits over with a young cultivator and his spirit beast.

"Welcome to Hidden Dragon Academy." The teacher walked a few steps, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said: "I heard that the Beast Taming Sect is currently in a state of being sealed, but these have nothing to do with you, a Qi Refining disciple. Since you have come to the academy, let's prioritize learning first."

After the Cao-surnamed cultivator working in the academy led Lin Jing from the Great Wilderness to the Hidden Dragon Academy, he kindly advised, not wanting Lin Jing to affect his own mentality because of the sect's affairs.

Hearing this, Lin Jing showed a bitter smile. He originally thought so too... Who knew that the Beast Taming Sect being sealed actually had the reason of the Demon Suppressing Tower's mutation!

How did this Demon Suppressing Tower loosen? Others don't know, but can he and the Pine Needle Rat not know?

Lin Jing felt very guilty, feeling that if he couldn't make a name for himself in the Hidden Dragon Academy, he would be sorry for the spatial magic treasure and one hundred thousand spirit stones the Sect Master gave him at parting!

"Many thanks, Senior Cao." Lin Jing and the Pine Needle Rat bowed their heads and said. Although the Dragon Carp didn't know anything, since it followed Lin Jing, it also carried this pot together.

"May I ask Senior Cao, when can I learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique?"

Although the Dragon Carp also inexplicably carried a pot, studying in the Hidden Dragon Academy was its greatest opportunity!

So this pot would not crush it to the point of being unable to grow.

Cao Ziwei turned his head to look at the Dragon Carp stuck in the Zen staff and smiled slightly: "You are well-prepared, anxious to cultivate dragon-blooded demon beasts with the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique?"

"Yes! At that time, Senior said that the academy's Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is the best secret method for cultivating dragon-blooded demon beasts on the whole continent."

"Yes." Cao Ziwei nodded.

He stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said: "The academy recruits students from the outside every few years. Under normal circumstances, only by passing the assessment can one have the opportunity to enter the academy."

"However, this is for ordinary cultivators. You can be selected by the cave heaven, which shows that you have a certain amount of luck, so the Hidden Dragon Academy invited you personally."

"Besides you, the few cultivators who entered the cave heaven with you at that time were also invited by the academy. They all responded earlier than you, and now they have all entered the Hidden Dragon Academy."

"As 'specially recruited students', you not only don't need to take the assessment, but the moment you enter the academy, you can obtain the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!"

Lin Jing never expected that the literary scholar from the cave heaven, the female alchemist from the Danding Sect, and the sword cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Gate had already arrived at the academy.

Looking at it this way, he also had acquaintances in the academy!

It's just that these few acquaintances might hate him very much...

Lin Jing didn't care about these. What he was happy about was that the conditions for obtaining the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique were so simple!

"You don't need to be too happy." Cao Ziwei's expression was gentle: "Exempting the assessment is a privilege, but obtaining the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is not. Any student who successfully enters the academy can immediately obtain the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique."

"Because the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique... is the prerequisite for listening to the lectures of the teachers in the academy!"

"Students who enter the academy only have the qualification to attend classes after they have entered the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!"

Saying this, Cao Ziwei took out a stone seal and held it in his hand for Lin Jing to see. On this stone seal was a young dragon circling, extraordinary and divine.

"This is the Hidden Dragon Seal. If you imprint it on your body, you will have the opportunity to learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique."

"Do you know what the core of cultivating the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is?" Cao Ziwei looked at Lin Jing, the Pine Needle Rat, and the Dragon Carp and asked.

Without waiting for Lin Jing and the others to answer, he continued: "It is not the spiritual energy that is the foundation of cultivation! It is reputation, fame!"

"Squeak???"

Reputation, fame?

The Pine Needle Rat immediately poked its head out, what does that mean.

"Very simple, it is that you, in this Hidden Dragon Academy, in this Hidden Longcheng, in this Ancient Domain, in this Heavenly Origin Ancient Kingdom, in this cultivation world... the greater your fame, the deeper the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique you cultivate!"

"Is it a very magical secret method?"

"Yes!" Lin Jing nodded. It is worthy of being a secret method derived from the True Dragon Secret Technique. He, this Longevity Body, likes this special method that doesn't require his own cultivation the most.

It's just that... if you want fame, you have to cause trouble. Lin Jing was a bit embarrassed. As everyone knows, he is an honest person.

"Senior, that is to say, I need to make a certain reputation first, enter the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, and then have the qualification to listen to classes in the academy."

"Hmm." Cao Ziwei said: "Next, I will imprint the Hidden Dragon Seal on your body. It is the seed of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. When your reputation accumulates to a certain extent, the Hidden Dragon Seal imprinted on your body will appear with a trace of luster. When the luster covers the entire Hidden Dragon Seal, your Hidden Dragon Secret Technique can be considered formally entered."

"After this, the various wonderful uses of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique will emerge in your mind, including the dragon-blooded spirit beast cultivation secret method you want!"

"In addition, after the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is just entered, the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique will also transform into an illusory luck young dragon hidden in the cultivator's body according to the cultivator's own cultivation, reputation, and luck!"

"The initially born luck young dragons have different colors, divided into four colors: white, blue, purple, and gold! The further back the color, the stronger your dragon luck!"

"This color is determined by your reputation and cultivation. Under normal circumstances, the lower the cultivation and the higher the reputation, the further back the color."

"In the academy, the teachers basically set the threshold for attending classes based on the color of the luck young dragon."

"For example, Senior Meng, who cultivates Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, only allows students with golden Hidden Dragon luck to listen to his lectures."

"And, some Foundation Establishment methods and Core Formation methods in the academy, although theoretically provided to students for free, also require the student's Hidden Dragon Secret Technique to reach a certain level!"

"Therefore, how much you can learn in the Hidden Dragon Academy is very critical to the attainment of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique."

Senior Cao smiled slightly, looked at Lin Jing and the others, and said: "Just now you practiced in the Great Wilderness, I think you already have a certain confidence in your strength."

"In the Hidden Dragon Academy, although it does not teach fighting, the simplest and most direct way to gain reputation is actually to trample other sects' geniuses under your feet, publicize it widely, and use others as stepping stones to improve your own Hidden Dragon Secret Technique!"

"That is the so-called... Dragon Luck Plunder!"

"This is the most brutal way for you students of the academy."

"However, if you are not careful, you may also become someone else's stepping stone, causing your reputation to plummet and your Hidden Dragon Secret Technique realm to retreat instead of advance! As for how to improve the realm of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, it depends on your own choices."

"By the way, there is also..."

He said: "The academy does not prepare cultivation cave dwellings for students. Although there are places for cultivation, students need to rent them with spirit stones."

"Do you need it?"

Lin Jing:???

What?

Not even a cultivation cave dwelling?

Lin Jing was slightly startled.

Isn't this even worse than the Beast Taming Sect!

Lin Jing suddenly knew why Sect Master Xu stuffed him with an extra one hundred thousand spirit stones.

Without spirit stones, he might not even have the qualification to live in the academy.

Thinking of the spirit stones he used during the three months of bitter cultivation, Lin Jing felt heartbroken.

"Senior, don't specially recruited students have any preferential treatment?" Waiving the accommodation fee wouldn't be too much to ask! ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
