So Lin Jing had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. As a beast-taming cultivator, when a pet beast reaches Foundation Establishment, it is no different from the beast tamer reaching Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what had he just heard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing actually intended to send this pet beast alone to compete for the opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the Pine-Leaf Rat's drastically changed appearance, Liu Yu could guess that its bloodline grade must have received a significant boost, but at the thought of a squirrel spirit going alone to compete for an opportunity against a group of heaven-gifted geniuses, he still wanted to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Lin Jing being a bit too naive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squeak...\" The Pine-Leaf Rat's expression was calm. After receiving the order, it flew away directly on its leaf, quickly flashing past the members of the Pupil Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he not afraid of his pet beast being killed in battle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yu was puzzled, but the group still followed. They had not taken a liking to the dragon blood opportunity here and chose to go to another location to hunt instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Pine-Leaf Rat left, Wang Xiao tried hard to soothe his King-Blood Battle Tiger. In the entire scene, only this King-Blood Battle Tiger, which was also a beast, vaguely sensed the terror of the Pine-Leaf Rat's bloodline and kept letting out uneasy low growls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other demon beasts with bloodlines inferior to the King-Blood were just like mayflies seeing the vast sky; they could not sense the terrifying bloodline of the Pine-Leaf Rat at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who exactly are you...\" Wang Xiao felt horrified again in his heart. He had originally thought Lin Jing had only subdued the mosquito beasts by coincidence, but now he was thoroughly convinced it was no coincidence. During this time, although he had also cultivated a powerful battle pet, Lin Jing's Pine-Leaf Rat had been cultivated by Lin Jing to be even more mysterious and unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're just sending that squirrel? Is that okay?\" Outside the Dragon-Transforming Blood Pool, Wang Xiao said, \"You're really not going to follow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\" Lin Jing closed his eyes again and continued to sit cross-legged in mid-air to cultivate. Seeing this, Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and rode his battle tiger to chase after Liu Yu and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This squirrel spirit...\" At the same time, above the clouds and mist, the various teachers were also observing the Pine-Leaf Rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that it consumed a Tree-Man Pill and used the Tree-Man Pill to transform its bloodline?\" The academy teachers were far more knowledgeable than the average student and quickly judged the Pine-Leaf Rat's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like an ordinary early Foundation Establishment, and its bloodline is also that of an ordinary squirrel spirit... It must be hiding its power just like Lin Jing. Wang Xiao's battle tiger seems very afraid of it.\" The teachers were not wrong in their judgment; the techniques used by both the Pine-Leaf Rat and Lin Jing to hide their power originated from the Divine Pine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an advanced application of the \"Divine Wood Seal,\" achieving the effect of hiding one's cultivation base and bloodline by falsely sealing away power. Unless one used high-level spiritual sense to forcibly break through the seal to investigate, it was very difficult to detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy teachers naturally had no need to rush; excessive probing was very impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems their target is that thing...\" Cao Ziwei spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile. The other teachers also laughed, looking as if they were ready to watch a good show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, a considerable number of academy geniuses were gathered at a mountain peak. The mountain was strange; the surrounding area was perfectly normal, but only this mountain was constantly shrouded in dense, heavy rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rainwater was colorless, and when it fell to the ground, it looked no different from ordinary rainwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rainwater mostly originated from a heaven-reaching plant within the mountain. Its leaves were broad and dark green, its inflorescence fresh and elegant, and it was taller than ordinary ancient trees. Silver patterns spread across its body; it was the one constantly absorbing water vapor and spitting out rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's impossible.\" A genius probed with their spiritual sense and immediately felt as if they had plunged their head into magma; their face flushed red, and their mind fell into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also geniuses who traveled with their own \"chariots,\" riding flying boats that shielded them from wind and rain, wanting to traverse the curtain of rain. But halfway through, the flying boats lost their magic power support and plummeted from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Body-protecting true qi, protective magic treasures, and Five Elements escape arts—the geniuses exhausted all their methods but could not break through the rain curtain, instead making themselves look very disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be a fourth-tier fierce plant, the Rain-Falling Guanyin, a dangerous object from the Mist Forest.\" Chen Lingxi of the Divine Talisman Sect shook her head. Her talisman paper was exactly countered by this rainwater, making it difficult to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Rain-Falling Guanyin's rainwater has the effect of corroding magic power and can even affect Core Formation cultivators...\" Under normal circumstances, the dozens of geniuses gathered here did not want to clash head-on with this fierce plant. However, anyone could see the heaven-shaking treasure light emanating from within the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be a supreme treasure inside the mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't Tang Yun break through either?\" Everyone looked toward a white-haired youth. Ranked sixty-sixth on the Heaven-Gifted List, Tang Yun possessed the Innate Cloud-Mist Body, a mutation of the Water Spirit Body, capable of refining clouds and mist into various powerful magic treasures and cloud beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was currently sitting cross-legged on a white cloud, with a long halberd condensed from black storm clouds and flickering with lightning light stuck into the cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This rainwater can even corrode my clouds. Without reaching the Golden Core stage, it's difficult to pass. However, the Rain-Falling Guanyin relies heavily on the surrounding environment for survival. Once the surrounding water vapor is exhausted, we can pass directly,\" the white-haired youth said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to know what the treasure is as soon as possible, the most efficient way... is for everyone to work together to continuously cast fire spells in the vicinity to remove the water vapor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't even think about breaking through relying on one person alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking than people saw a red flash streak past their eyes. A strange squirrel flying on a leaf had mixed in among them, staring longingly at the heaven-shaking treasure light within the rain curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...!\" As soon as the Pine-Leaf Rat appeared, everyone was stunned. Only a very small number of people, such as Chen Lingxi of the Divine Talisman Sect, saw a familiar shadow in the Pine-Leaf Rat after its bloodline evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be another rare spirit beast caught from abroad by the academy teachers?\" A genius was eager to try; this squirrel looked delicious. If put into a pot and stir-fried, it would be a complete meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible? Whose wild spirit beast wears a Daoist robe?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the cultivators present could react further, they saw the rain water forcibly open a rainless path in the direction the Pine-Leaf Rat, which was flying on a red leaf, was looking. It flew straight in, leaving everyone stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others came to their senses and just wanted to follow, but the rain came pouring down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't even think about breaking through relying on one person alone... but it is not a person,\" Tang Yun added. \"This Daoist-robed squirrel spirit... it must have a method to restrain the fierce plant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1537,"2026-06-17T20:06:23.557Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","902b57f73b7c1dada908e767a31608a998fe3cf8d2741ff3c58a2e4c91f30b3e","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-126","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-124",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-ascension-cover.jpg"]
