Chapter 74: Squirrel Swallows Dragon Picture

No one expected that after Fang Shilin defeated a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator across levels with the power of magic treasure, the next challenger would be a Qi Refining cultivator.

In this Hidden Dragon City, even a wild dog on the street might be at the Seventh or Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, so Qi Refining cultivation is really not very eye-catching.

Qi Refining... Fang Shilin curled his lips. Foundation Establishment defeating Qi Refining is useless, but instead, it will be said that he is bullying the small with the big, ruining his reputation. And losing to this guy... how could he lose to a Qi Refining cultivator?

Anyway, this challenge that is not worth it, Fang Shilin is really too lazy to scold people. In his view, Lin Jing is just here to make trouble.

"Wait!"

"Your outfit..."

Suddenly, Fang Shilin noticed the Pine Needle Rat and the Dragon Carp and asked: "You are a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect in the Great Wilderness Domain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was bustling with noise.

"Beast Taming Sect?"

"Is it the Beast Taming Sect that the Sect Management Office recently issued a notification that demon luck is greater than human luck and ordered the sect to be sealed and rectified?"

"I heard that the Nascent Soul ancestors of this sect are all Demon Kings, and there is not a single human cultivator. Every Demon King has three or four human pets. It is terrifying."

The cultivators present looked at Lin Jing with strange eyes.

Lin Jing didn't know how the rumors spread more and more outrageously. He sighed slightly.

"I am Lin Jing of the Beast Taming Sect!"

"The Beast Taming Sect is not as absurd as everyone says. There is still one human powerhouse."

Fang Shilin, as a cultivator in the Great Wilderness, was very familiar with the Beast Taming Sect. He listened to the discussion and laughed: "After the Beast Taming Sect was sealed, have the disciples all run to the Ancient Domain?"

"The Ancient Domain is a place where luck gathers. As a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, coming to the Ancient Domain for training to revitalize the sect is naturally the first choice." Lin Jing said peacefully.

"So that's it. I also sympathize with your encounter." Fang Shilin said: "Fine, I accept your challenge."

"You are only at the Qi Refining stage. The two spirit beasts, one should be contracted, and one is not contracted. But it doesn't matter. You and the two spirit beasts go up together. This is fairer."

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, Fang Shilin would be too lazy to accept the challenge. But seeing that Lin Jing was a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, he immediately became interested.

The Beast Taming Sect was a first-class sect in the Great Wilderness after all. Because of the excessive demon luck, it was sealed. The discussion was not small. Interacting with it would allow his ring-setting event to spread more widely. Furthermore, fighting "three" with one, it wouldn't be considered too bullying to say it out.

Lin Jing said very politely: "Many thanks, Your Excellency. However, I have not yet contracted this Dragon Carp, so sending it to battle is a bit against the rules."

After speaking, he stuck the Zen staff into the ground, let the Dragon Carp act as an audience, and walked out step by step with the Pine Needle Rat, coming to Fang Shilin.

Seeing this, Fang Shilin narrowed his eyes.

Not only Fang Shilin, but the cultivators in the crowd, whether Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment, all felt that Lin Jing was too arrogant.

Fighting one with three is not very likely to win, and cutting off one arm—what is the reason?

Everyone looked at Lin Jing's cultivation, which was only at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining. Although the core combat strength of a Beast Taming cultivator is the spirit beast, in everyone's eyes, the Pine Needle Rat at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining is not very high in cultivation. After all, this is a gap of a big realm, not a small realm.

"This Beast Taming Sect disciple should be trying to increase his own popularity to increase the sect's human luck."

"I don't know what his status is in the Beast Taming Sect. Has the Beast Taming Sect actually fallen to the point of letting a Qi Refining disciple revitalize the sect?"

People only felt puzzled. The most important thing is... even if Beast Taming Sect disciples can legally gang up, choosing a genius of the academy who is one realm higher than himself as an opponent is really not a wise move.

Is he hoping like this... to let all parties see the efforts of the Beast Taming Sect?

Fang Shilin still did not stand up, sat on the wooden chair, opened the wooden fan, and fanned. He did not urge the magic treasure, but directly cast the entanglement technique with his own magic power.

To deal with a Qi Refining cultivator, if he used magic treasure, he would be embarrassed himself.

Pop!

Behind him, the ground cracked, and countless vines grew out, like dozens or hundreds of green vine snakes.

The vine snakes attacked. Lin Jing had no expression, and the Pine Needle Rat had no waves in its heart, only feeling that it was not as powerful as the Blood-Sucking Vine that had sucked Longevity Blood.

"Can you go all out?" Lin Jing and the Pine Needle Rat did not move the whole time. Everyone thought they were scared silly, but the next moment, a scene that made everyone show a look of astonishment appeared, because these vines actually stopped in mid-air after approaching Lin Jing, motionless!

They originally thought it was Fang Shilin holding back, but after seeing Fang Shilin's surprised expression, the crowd's expression also became serious, noticing the abnormality of this Beast Taming cultivator.

"Entanglement technique... was interrupted?" Fang Shilin was startled.

Not only that, as Lin Jing took a step forward, walking toward the sitting Fang Shilin, these sky-filling vines actually collapsed with a bang, turning into countless green light spots, no longer posing a threat!

The crowd watching the battle realized that at some point, the Pine Needle Rat on Lin Jing's shoulder had its Daoist robe fluttering, single-claw forming seals, as if casting some magic to crack the entanglement technique.

"Squeak!" The Pine Needle Rat shook its head, as if dissatisfied with the opponent's strength.

"Damn it!" Lin Jing's forward movement and the Pine Needle Rat's weirdness made Fang Shilin unable to understand. He put away the wooden fan, pointed lightly, and with the help of the magic treasure, summoned more powerful vines—a total of seven vines, each like a green dragon, roaring toward Lin Jing.

Boom!

But the next moment, behind Lin Jing, a terrifying "vision" rose. A wooden god appeared, unknown in appearance, surrounded by the life force of vegetation, looking down at the world. The spring breeze blew gently, all things revived, it wore a green robe, stepped on the void, and slowly descended on this vibrant land.

Accompanied by the terrifying pressure of this amazing vision, Fang Shilin's heart shook violently, and his movements of urging the magic treasure slowed down by a few beats, frequently making mistakes.

"Impossible! You are at the Qi Refining stage?" Fang Shilin looked at the vision in shock. Even those monsters in the academy, he had never seen such means...

Not only him, but the cultivators watching the battle were all stunned, their mouths wide open, unable to believe that this was something a Qi Refining cultivator could do. Is this person born with an immortal body?

How could it be... What made everyone horrified was that after this god image became clear, it was actually a giant squirrel, grabbing a green dragon phantom with its hands, stuffing it into its mouth, and swallowing it! Its image was exactly the same as the squirrel on Lin Jing's shoulder, but the aura was much more terrifying, like the incarnation of the Green Emperor, the master of spring.

Vision, Squirrel Swallows Dragon Picture!

Fang Shilin was lost for a moment, and the green vine dragons urged by the magic treasure also collapsed rapidly, and the vision and reality corresponded!

"I——"

Fang Shilin wanted to continue acting, but with a "buzz," he found that the wooden chair he was sitting on actually grew countless wooden strips, which had already bound him fiercely. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free!

Seeing this, Lin Jing stopped his steps.

"Strange."

"I am so strong, with the aptitude to fly as a beast tamer, why is the human luck of the sect not working? Is it a misjudgment by the Sect Management Office? It seems I still have to reverse-slay a few Foundation Establishment stages to show the Sect Management Office." He muttered to himself, letting everyone hear it.

After speaking, the phantom of the Green Emperor Squirrel dissipated. Lin Jing turned and walked back to the Dragon Carp, and under the shocked eyes of a crowd of cultivators, picked up the Zen staff and walked toward the distance, leaving behind merit and name.

At the same time, a small area of the Hidden Dragon pattern on the back of Lin Jing's hand was lit up. Reputation still needs further fermentation.

Qi Refining fighting Foundation Establishment, and winning easily, is definitely a huge topic. What's more, it is related to the Beast Taming Sect that was recently sealed! In a short time, the information of this battle spread rapidly in Hidden Dragon City.

"A Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator, a Qi Refining Ninth Layer squirrel spirit, revealed a shocking vision, and easily suppressed a Foundation Establishment cultivator holding a magic treasure? Or a Foundation Establishment genius of the academy?"

"Qi Refining squirrel spirit wood method attainment crushed the young valley master of Changchun Valley? Is this reasonable! What is the Squirrel Swallows Dragon Picture!"

"What kind of sacred person is this Lin Jing? Is he really just from the third-rate sect of the Beast Taming Sect? Didn't they say that the Beast Taming Sect's demon luck is greater than human luck? Such a terrifying squirrel spirit, didn't it also recognize a Qi Refining cultivator as its master?"

"Qi Refining reverse-slaying Foundation Establishment, it is hard to imagine that it was done by a disciple of a Great Wilderness sect!"

"I am also from the Great Wilderness. I have never heard of a person named Lin Jing in the Beast Taming Sect, and that squirrel spirit is just one of the five basic spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect, spirit-level bloodline, combat strength is extremely weak!"

In the Hidden Dragon Academy, such news also spread extremely fast. Fang Shilin went outside the academy to pretend to be famous but was beaten instead, making many classmates laugh.

In the academy, three geniuses from different regions—a green-shirted scholar, a female alchemist, and a young sword cultivator—heard the name of Lin Jing of the Beast Taming Sect, and their faces changed in unison, recalling some unpleasant things.

"He is here. This freak of the Beast Taming Sect, he left a fake name last time! Do you have to be so scary? You come up and take the Foundation Establishment stage as a knife!"

Lin Jing's name rose instantly. However, only Lin Jing himself was extremely annoyed afterward, because in order to cause trouble, he actually forgot to ask for that one hundred spirit stones. Fortunately, this Brother Fang is a classmate, and there will be opportunities to ask for it in the future! ===== CHAPTER 75 =====

The name of Lin Jing rose to prominence in an instant, yet only Lin Jing himself felt extremely annoyed afterward, because in his desire to stir up trouble, he had actually forgotten to ask for those one hundred spirit stones. Fortunately, this Brother Fang was a fellow student, so there would be opportunities to ask for them in the future!
