Chapter 5: Qi Refining Level 1

In the Beast Taming Sect, Outer Disciples and Menial Disciples are active at the foot of the peak.

After Lin Jing chose the Pine Leaf Mouse, Elder Mo didn't know what method he used to summon the two cranes from just now again.

Riding the cranes, they soon arrived at the Outer Courtyard at the foot of the mountain and landed in a beautiful courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was a pond and green trees. Lin Jing carried a bag of spirit stones, never thinking that his first pet beast would be one that brought its own capital to join the group, while the Pine Leaf Mouse stood on his shoulder, waving its claws to the crane sister.

"For the next period of time, you can cultivate here."

"Even Outer Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect have their own separate courtyards."

"However, the facilities of the Outer Sect are definitely not as good as the Inner Peak. So next, you must cultivate diligently and reach the assessment standard for Inner Disciples as soon as possible, which is the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"As long as the disciple himself or the spirit beast reaches the seventh level of Qi Refining, they can participate in the Inner Sect assessment."

"I have already greeted the Outer Sect Elder. Next, you just need to wait, and someone will be sent to deliver your entrance resources."

"Thank you, Elder." Lin Jing bowed with cupped hands.

"Zhi zhi zhi zhi!" The Pine Leaf Mouse also bowed to thank him, feeling that this old man was quite good, and even gave them a cloth bag to hold spirit stones.

"En..." Elder Mo hesitated to speak.

He looked at Lin Jing carrying a bag of spirit stones and always felt that this little squirrel was going to be miserable.

The Longevity Constitution has an extremely slow cultivation speed. If you want to be faster, you have to consume a lot of resources. This bag of spirit stones might not necessarily survive...

However, this was not something he should worry about.

"This talisman is for you. Carry it on your body, and ordinary monsters and cultivators will not be able to detect your constitution without specific means."

Before Elder Mo left, he gave Lin Jing a jade talisman.

Receiving the square jade talisman, Lin Jing was very grateful.

He only felt that this Beast Taming Sect was very humane.

Such a sect is worthy of disciples fighting for it.

"Alright, do you have anything else to ask?" Elder Mo said.

"Elder Mo, I want to ask about Senior Brother Ouyang." Lin Jing asked. He was unfamiliar with the Beast Taming Sect. Besides Elder Mo, only Ouyang Hao, who was his age and knew his background, was suitable for him to associate with.

"Ouyang Hao?" Elder Mo sighed: "He is a leader among the Inner Disciples."

"Ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment, impacting the True Transmission Disciple sequence." Elder Mo said: "Although he was brought back to the sect by me, he is deeply favored by the Sect Master. After Foundation Establishment, he might become the Sect Master’s disciple."

"Ah?"

Lin Jing asked carefully: "Is our Sect Master a male Sect Master or a female Sect Master."

Elder Mo: "..."

"The Sect Master is a man, not what you think. In short, you will know the reason in the future." Elder Mo didn't want to say more.

Hearing this, Lin Jing felt emotional in his heart.

It seems Senior Brother Ouyang’s talent is higher than he imagined.

He actually has a chance to become the Sect Master’s disciple.

Unfortunately, Inner Disciples are active on the peak, and Outer Disciples are generally not allowed to go up the mountain. It seems he won't be able to visit on weekdays.

Not long after, Elder Mo left riding the crane.

After Elder Mo left, the Pine Leaf Mouse jumped onto the stone table.

Seeing this, Lin Jing smiled slightly: "From now on, we will cultivate together. What should I call you?"

"Zhi." The Pine Leaf Mouse.

"..." Lin Jing was silent for a moment and then said: "When will you be able to speak human language like Elder Black Bear and the cranes?"

The Pine Leaf Mouse shook its head.

Indicating it didn't know.

"It seems you don't have a name yet. I will give you one." Lin Jing planned to show off his skills.

Before he could think.

A crane cry interrupted his train of thought.

Another crane.

It came from the clouds, grabbing a sack, and placed the sack on the stone table.

Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Mouse looked at this "crane."

The crane also looked at them.

"What are you looking at?" The crane made a rough male voice.

"The things have been delivered, I'm leaving."

Afterward, it flew back into the clouds.

"It seems that the Beast Taming Sect’s travel and delivery business are all done by cranes." Lin Jing guessed.

"The Horned Ox is land transport, and the crane is air transport."

Lin Jing stepped forward and opened the sack, and the Pine Leaf Mouse also poked its head over.

Inside the sack, there was a jade slip, a manual, a set of Outer Disciple clothes, a token, plus ten spirit stones and a bag of spirit rice.

The manual was the "Sect Manual," introducing some matters that Beast Taming Sect disciples should pay attention to.

And the jade slip was the cultivation technique "Beast Taming Technique."

As for spirit stones, formal disciples of the Beast Taming Sect are divided into three levels: Outer, Inner, and True Transmission.

Among them, Outer Disciples have a fixed cultivation resource of one low-grade spirit stone per month, while Inner Disciples have ten low-grade spirit stones.

If you want more cultivation resources, you can only go and perform missions yourself to earn them.

Such as mining, farming, helping in the kitchen...

Because Lin Jing had special disciple treatment, the number of spirit stones he received was comparable to that of an Inner Disciple, and he also had an extra bag of spirit rice.

"Sect Manual!" He first picked up the Sect Manual and read it, and the Pine Leaf Mouse climbed onto his shoulder again, together with him.

After reading for a while, the most valuable information was about the "Beast Taming Technique."

"Activate the jade slip, and the cultivation method of the 'Beast Taming Technique' will float in your mind."

"At that time, you can follow a specific breathing method to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, integrate it into your body, and transform it into Beast Taming True Qi to nourish yourself!"

"After the first level of Qi Refining, the cultivator’s body will give birth to a drop of special blood that can be mobilized by True Qi due to the nourishment of Beast Taming True Qi."

"Use blood as a medium, press it on the spirit beast’s forehead, and you can complete the bloodline contract, with both spirits connected."

"The path of cultivating immortality: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Body Integration, Tribulation Crossing, Ascension. This 'Beast Taming Technique' can be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Foundation Establishment disciples, after passing the True Transmission assessment, can learn many True Transmission Beast Taming secret techniques in the sect, refine life-bound space magic treasures, and store pet beasts in them..."

Lin Jing said: "It seems I have to improve my cultivation as soon as possible."

"More powerful methods cannot be learned yet."

"Zhi!" The Pine Leaf Mouse nodded. It was already at the third level of Qi Refining, while Lin Jing still looked like a mortal. Now for Lin Jing, the right thing to do was indeed to improve his cultivation.

"Spirit stones contain pure spiritual energy. With so many spirit stones, I should be able to reach the first level of Qi Refining very soon." Lin Jing said.

The Pine Leaf Mouse nodded again, approving.

And it picked up a spirit stone issued to Lin Jing by the sect, held it up, and signaled Lin Jing to cultivate quickly.

It was still waiting for them to work together after the contract to earn more spirit stones to buy a storage bag.

The sect taught that disciples who practice the Beast Taming Technique, combined with various Beast Taming methods, can greatly improve the abilities of spirit beasts.

Lin Jing didn't dawdle anymore and picked up the jade slip.

He closed his eyes and recited the corresponding mantra.

Soon, the jade slip flickered, and the cultivation information poured directly into his mind.

Beast Taming Technique, Qi Refining Chapter!

A total of nine levels.

The first level allows contracting pet beasts, and part of the pet beast’s cultivation results will be fed back to the cultivator himself.

In addition, the cultivator can also communicate spiritually with the pet beast.

After reaching the seventh level, one can also master the Beast Taming method of passing one’s own True Qi to the pet beast, or letting the pet beast pass spiritual power or demonic power to oneself to quickly restore one’s own True Qi.

The Qi Refining Chapter of the Beast Taming Technique records basic techniques, including how to use spirit stones, which is the basic skill to enhance Qi Refining cultivation.

If you want to practice other Beast Taming methods, you can only apply to the sect for learning after reaching a specific standard.

And for Lin Jing, this basic Beast Taming Technique is enough for now.

The specific breathing method that comes with the jade slip and the technique of using spirit stones to cultivate are enough to let him step into the door of cultivation.

He took a deep breath, grabbed a spirit stone, the spirit stone in his hand flickered slightly, and a mysterious vortex lingered around him.

However.

Lin Jing, who was cultivating, and the Pine Leaf Mouse, who was waiting for Lin Jing to enter the door, seemed not to realize that the Longevity Constitution is indeed very slow to cultivate.

The Pine Leaf Mouse waited quietly for Lin Jing, guarded for a while, and then began to cultivate itself.

Until...

A few days later.

The spirit stones issued to Lin Jing by the sect were used up by him.

"I feel like it's just a little bit away."

He began to look at the confused Pine Leaf Mouse.

After the Pine Leaf Mouse’s brain overloaded, it tentatively picked up the spirit stones it had hoarded and asked Lin Jing if he wanted to use them.

Lin Jing accepted them with gratitude.

Until half a month after entering the sect, Lin Jing became more and more proficient in transforming spiritual energy.

But the resources that the Pine Leaf Mouse had hoarded for a long time were almost used up.

Only 3 or 4 spirit stones were left.

Lin Jing still didn't look like he was going to succeed in Qi Refining at all.

Seeing this, this squirrel spirit, with red eyes, completely broke down, its claws dancing wildly.

This is no longer a question of whether it is slow or not.

It had hoarded spirit stones for a long time... most of the spirit rice was also eaten by Lin Jing.

It shouldn't have offered to give spirit stones.

Throwing them into the pond outside, at least you could see the splash.

The Pine Leaf Mouse almost cried. Just at this moment, finally, Lin Jing suddenly opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and the majestic vitality circulated from inside to outside. A drop of golden blood condensed in his body. First level of Qi Refining, success!

Half a month, he finally succeeded in Qi Refining!

Lin Jing took a deep breath. This feeling... He looked at the Pine Leaf Mouse and couldn't help but share the joy with the other party.

But he only saw the Pine Leaf Mouse looking at him with a look of hopelessness.

Lin Jing looked at the spirit stone powder on the ground in silence and said: "It won't take long, I will pay you back double!"

The Pine Leaf Mouse didn't know if it heard it, trembling and holding a handful of spirit stone powder.

"Zhi..."
