Chapter 46: Refining

Lin Jing looked around and didn't quite understand. The cloth bag, stone ring, jade bracelet, treasure bead, gourd, and scroll all looked normal. How did a monk’s staff, which looked very strange, get mixed in?

Isn't this a Buddhist implement?

How did it appear in the Beast Taming Sect?

"You are wondering why the sect refined a space magic treasure into a monk’s staff?"

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded.

"Actually, it’s because of a past event. This matter was not clearly recorded and has always been passed down by word of mouth." Elder Mo laughed, summoned the monk’s staff, and held it in his hand.

"During the period of the second sect master, a monster appeared in the Great Desolation Domain, causing disaster to one side."

"This monster was a special rare beast. Because of its rare beast divine ability, it was extremely difficult to kill! Even if it was one or two major realms higher!"

"At that time, the cultivators of the Great Desolation had no way to deal with this monster."

"Until a guest elder of the Demon-Eliminating Division arrived. This guest elder was a Buddhist, with profound Buddhist Dharma. He cooperated with four Great Desolation cultivators and finally used special means to seal the monster together."

"It was a seal, not a kill."

"Among the four Great Desolation cultivators, one was the second sect master of our sect."

"After this battle, the second sect master became friends with this Buddhist cultivator. For a period of time, most of the space magic treasures of the Beast Taming Sect were Buddhist implements. This monk’s staff has also been left here for some years."

"Time has passed for too long. Because the style is strange, almost no true disciples chose it, even after knowing this history."

"So that’s it." Lin Jing was enlightened. "I didn't expect our Beast Taming Sect to have the duty of guarding the Demon-Suppressing Tower."

After all... compared to normal sects, we are more like a monster sect.

"You shouldn't be planning to choose this monk’s staff, right?" Elder Mo inquired.

"I won't choose it." Lin Jing said. "This monk’s staff does not match my graceful, free, and immortal temperament."

Elder Mo was speechless. He didn't expect Lin Jing to be so narcissistic. However, he looked at Lin Jing carefully and found that Lin Jing’s appearance indeed had a few points of the handsomeness he, Mo Wuyai, had when he was young. No wonder he was so confident.

"Elder, this disciple chooses this." Lin Jing pointed to the red gourd.

The Pine-Leaf Rat was shocked. It felt that the cloth bag was more convenient for it to carry.

Lin Jing ignored it.

This space magic treasure was used to hold the Pine-Leaf Rat. Whether it was convenient for the Pine-Leaf Rat to carry or not was not something Lin Jing considered.

Moreover, magic treasures of this level could all change size, so they were convenient to carry no matter what.

"Other space magic treasures have heavy traces of postnatal refining, while this one... is more like an innate object. If I remember correctly, it should be a Hanging Gourd, right? A strange plant that brings its own space."

"It seems you have read more books." Elder Mo said. "The other six space magic treasures are all refined from various spatial materials, while this gourd has only undergone simple postnatal transformation, which can be considered the most primitive."

"However, what you value shouldn't be this point, right?"

"Hmm, it is a plant, and the Pine-Leaf Rat is wood-attribute, so the compatibility should be higher." Lin Jing looked at Elder Mo and said, "Elder, if I obtain more Hanging Gourds in the future, can I let the Pine-Leaf Rat synthesize them with the Glazed Immortal Pupils?"

Compared to the other six space magic treasures, Lin Jing took a fancy to the attributes of the Hanging Gourd.

"That is indeed the case." Elder Mo nodded, recognizing Lin Jing’s point of view. "However, Hanging Gourds are incredibly rare. This one was also obtained by an ancestor by accident. Before you have achievements in cultivation, even if you encounter them, it will be difficult to afford them."

"At least there is something to look forward to." Lin Jing said. "Elder, I will choose this gourd."

"Actually, this disciple also likes the monk’s staff very much. When this disciple reaches Foundation Establishment and contracts a second pet, can this disciple apply for another space magic treasure... We can’t let multiple pets squeeze into one place, right?"

"Get out!" Elder Mo scolded for the first time. This is the sect’s foundation. Do you think it’s a Chinese cabbage that can be chosen at will!

After Lin Jing chose the Hanging Gourd as his natal beast-taming space magic treasure, he refined the Hanging Gourd under Elder Mo’s guidance by condensing a drop of essence blood.

After refining the Hanging Gourd, Lin Jing discovered that, as expected of a magic treasure-level equipment that only Golden Core cultivators were qualified to use, the space inside was actually much larger than the courtyard he had in the outer sect.

With this, the Pine-Leaf Rat finally didn't have to worry about stockpiling goods...

In the original two storage bags, the Pine-Leaf Rat could only put some rare synthetic items. Bags and bags of ordinary spirit rice and spirit beans could only be piled up in the courtyard. It was too wasteful to put them in the storage bag. Now there was no such worry.

Although the Hanging Gourd was Lin Jing’s natal magic treasure, it was the Pine-Leaf Rat’s residence, which didn't affect it from exerting its stockpiling squirrel attribute.

"Squeak!!!" Beside him, the Pine-Leaf Rat saw Lin Jing playing with the Hanging Gourd alone and immediately wanted to touch it.

"If I call you, do you dare to answer?"

Lin Jing aimed the gourd at the Pine-Leaf Rat, who didn't know what was going on. Before the Pine-Leaf Rat could answer, it was "swish" forcibly taken back into the space magic treasure by Lin Jing.

Although bewildered, after entering the brand-new space, the Pine-Leaf Rat took a deep breath, and there was light in its eyes.

So big!

It looked left and right. The inside of

So big!

It looked around; the interior of the suspended gourd was quite spacious, and the ends in all eight directions were green spiritual energy mists, which were very helpful for cultivation. Stepping into the green spiritual energy mist, the Pine-Leaf Rat felt it necessary to renovate this place and make it its new cave dwelling.

"Squeak..." It counted on its fingers, planning to build a place to sleep, a warehouse, a place to cultivate, a warehouse, a place to eat, a warehouse...

"How is it?" Outside, Elder Mo looked at Lin Jing, who couldn't put down the suspended gourd, and smiled. "After having a life-bound beast-taming space magic treasure, do you feel a bit different? Like a true beast-taming cultivator?"

"In fact... only those who reach the position of sect True Transmission can be considered qualified beast-path cultivators."

"That's right." Lin Jing shook the suspended gourd, and it immediately became a bit smaller, hanging from Lin Jing's waist. The red gourd adorned the handsome and dashing Lin Jing, who was dressed in white, making his temperament even more extraordinary.

"It suits you quite well. In the future, when you walk outside, if any demon cultivators harbor evil intentions toward you, thinking you are just an ordinary lone cultivator and are about to attack, you can counter-summon your spirit beast. It is truly a joy." Elder Mo looked like he had experienced similar things when he was young, his face full of reminiscence. The best part about being a disciple of the Beast-Taming Sect was the ability to gang up on enemies.
