The direction it fled was the Pine-Needle Rat’s cave dwelling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go find him first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing thought for a moment, his body floated up, and he flew toward a mountain peak. Before long, he descended in front of a cave dwelling and called out loudly: \"Is Brother Xu there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone door of the cave dwelling opened, and a youth wearing a scholar’s long robe walked out, smiling: \"A rare guest. Brother Lin hasn't really left his house for three years, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't missed a single one of Mr. Zhu’s, Mr. Ji’s, or Mr. Lü’s classes.\" Lin Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Mr. Cao, these three teachers had also each opened courses to give lectures over the three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They taught [The Way of Feng Shui (City Construction Chapter)], teaching how to plan the important architectural geographical locations of a city or a sect to control prosperity and decline, good and bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Way of Astrology (Marriage Chapter)], deducing the most suitable auspicious days for men and women to marry based on the changes in the movement of celestial bodies. If the day is chosen well, even a couple whose ancestors were all mortals has a very high probability of giving birth to descendants with excellent cultivation qualifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Way of Arrays (Military Chapter)]. In a city, there are more low-level cultivators. In the face of disaster, these low-level cultivators are actually the core strength. A city defense army composed of one hundred ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, entering an array to fight the enemy, can withstand a Golden Core great demon. The mountain-protecting arrays of various sects also operate on similar principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat had listened carefully to these three classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin, you came to find me, it shouldn't be just for idle chat and reminiscing, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhi had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage. Seeing that Lin Jing was still in the Qi Refining realm, he couldn't help but shake his head. The tenth level of Qi Refining was clearly a very perfect foundation, so why hadn't Lin Jing broken through yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were guessing that Lin Jing wanted to cultivate a very tyrannical acquired constitution. Even if his own basic cultivation had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, it still couldn't guarantee he would succeed, which was why he had delayed his breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In these three years, I used the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique to cultivate a new pet beast, a dragon-blood pet beast!\" Lin Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is currently at the ninth level of Qi Refining and hasn't been contracted yet. I want to let it spar with the academy’s heaven’s prides. I think Brother Xu should have the contact information for the candidates of this year, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if Brother Xu can notify the candidates of this year for me, to see who is interested and willing to spar with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhi was stunned, surprised: \"You spent these three years cultivating a new pet beast???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhi was startled: \"So you were cultivating a second pet beast... but using the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique to cultivate it is too extravagant!! I use Hidden Dragon luck to deduce spell realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xu, just help me convey it.\" Lin Jing smiled and said: \"I will have a heavy reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What heavy reward? I don't want spirit bean bombs anymore.\" Xu Zhi had already reached Foundation Establishment and had also played with mechanism bamboo spears. The novelty had passed, and he had no interest in these mechanism creations that couldn't really improve his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An opportunity. Brother Xu will know when the time comes.\" Lin Jing kept him in suspense. There weren't many Ascending Dragon Elixirs, so naturally, he had to prioritize selling them to acquaintances. If Xu Zhi wanted to buy, Lin Jing would prioritize preparing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing hadn't found the wrong person. Perhaps Xu Zhi hadn't become familiar with the senior students over the three years, but as someone with the innate Saint Body for Governance, he already knew all these freshmen he had personally examined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone who truly wanted to be an official, what was just as important as practicing the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique was the connections one could accumulate in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Lin Jing’s matter was widely publicized by Xu Zhi to the freshmen of this year. Three years had passed, and ninety percent of these freshmen, who were originally at the ninth level of Qi Refining, had already reached Foundation Establishment. However, they wouldn't forget Lin Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years ago, it was the mechanism bamboo spears made by Lin Jing that had taught them a lesson. Besides that, the scene of Lin Jing emerging from the Dragon-Phoenix Cave Heaven at the tenth level had also shocked them greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this period... he was actually cultivating a new pet beast all along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three years... actually spending three years in secluded cultivation to cultivate a new pet beast. What patience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A dragon-blood pet beast cultivated by stimulating potential with the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique? He’s really willing to spend!\" These freshmen were shocked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, because of their curiosity about Lin Jing’s new pet beast, they decided to come and watch the strength of Lin Jing’s new pet beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, among the candidates of this year, there hadn't been any student who used Hidden Dragon luck to cultivate a pet or mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden Dragon luck was already rare, and it wasn't enough for oneself to use, so they were also puzzled about what level it could reach if used to cultivate a pet beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month later, at the South Gate of the Hidden Dragon Academy, Lin Jing had already set up a ring, waiting for the candidates invited by Xu Zhi to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ring, Lin Jing closed his eyes to rest his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him was a flopping red carp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A dragon carp?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pet beast he newly cultivated is actually a dragon carp?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This work was organized and uploaded by...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students who arrived here one after another were all stunned on the spot after seeing the ninth-level Qi Refining carp spirit on the ring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carp spirit... dragon carp... many immortal cultivators were familiar with this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the legend of \"carp leaping over the dragon gate\" was too classic. Many immortal cultivators might have grown up listening to similar stories. However, precisely because they were too familiar with it, they knew that the combat power of a carp spirit, before transforming into a dragon, was simply incomparable to most dragon-blood pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all entered the Dragon-Phoenix Cave Heaven. The ninth-level Qi Refining dragon-blood demon beasts there were either flood dragons or giant snakes, centipedes or giant crocodiles. Besides that, the lion-tiger fierce beasts containing dragon blood were also top-tier and tyrannical...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But uniquely, there were no dragon carp among them, which showed that even the immortals of the Immortal Palace didn't recognize the combat power of dragon-blood carp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps after successfully transforming into a dragon, the strength change of a dragon carp will be the greatest among many dragon-blood demon beasts! But right now, its strength shouldn't be too strong. What’s more, the environment here... is not water-attribute...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Wait a minute, something’s wrong. Why is this dragon carp fire-attribute!\" Someone discovered the clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the immortal cultivators present were already in the Foundation Establishment stage and had cultivated spiritual sense. While observing the dragon carp with spiritual sense, they discovered that fire power was vaguely rising between its spiritual energy. It was actually a fire-attribute beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puzzled, curious, amazed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there were more and more people. Lin Jing stood on the ring, wearing a white alchemy robe. Except for a small number of alchemists like Zi Ling’er, more people’s focus was on the dragon carp, and they didn't pay attention to what Lin Jing was wearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does he mean?\" Zi Ling’er was also an alchemist. Seeing Lin Jing wearing an alchemy robe at this time, she was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone.\" Lin Jing saw many familiar figures in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said: \"This is a pet beast I newly cultivated using the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique and a unique elixir. It is a fiery dragon carp. It hasn't been contracted yet, but I, Lin, want to verify the cultivation results first. I wonder which junior brother is willing to give me some pointers. Whether your cultivation is at the Qi Refining stage or the Foundation Establishment stage, it is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lin Jing looked at a silver figure walking from afar and asked: \"Is it the Heavenly Divine Body Wang Xiao? You have challenged me several times over the three years, but I didn't fight because I was in secluded cultivation. Brother Wang, do you want to come and try?\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1501,"2026-06-17T20:06:23.557Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2c328a2e14ca613efd0c66b9cd8ea4ec3cfa6af01d25164b1be7334cce60fc9e","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-102","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-100",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-ascension-cover.jpg"]
