The pavilion is based on bluestone, with red wood as the skeleton, and flying eaves and upturned corners, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly, elegant and solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, immortal light permeates the pavilion, accompanied by ripples of space, and a white-shirted teaching master transmits here with a young cultivator and his spirit beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to Hidden Dragon Academy.\" The teaching master walked a few steps, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said: \"I heard that the Beast Taming Sect is currently in a state of being sealed, but this has nothing to do with you, a Qi Refining disciple. Since you have come to the academy, let’s prioritize learning first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator surnamed Cao who worked in the academy led Lin Jing from the Great Wilderness to the Hidden Dragon Academy and kindly advised him, not wanting Lin Jing to affect his own mindset because of the sect’s affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Jing gave a wry smile. He originally thought so too... Who knew that the sealing of the Beast Taming Sect actually had the reason of the mutation of the Demon Suppressing Tower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the Demon Suppressing Tower loosened, others didn't know, but how could he and the Pine Needle Mouse not know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing felt very guilty, feeling that if he couldn't make a name for himself in the Hidden Dragon Academy, he would be sorry for the spatial magic treasure and 100,000 spirit stones the Sect Master gave him at parting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks, Senior Cao.\" Lin Jing and the Pine Needle Mouse bowed their heads and said. Although the Long Li didn't know anything, since it followed Lin Jing, it also carried this pot together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask Senior Cao, when can I learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Art?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Long Li also followed to carry a pot inexplicably, learning in the Hidden Dragon Academy was its greatest opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this pot would not crush it to the point of being unable to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Ziwei looked back at the Long Li stuck in the Zen staff and smiled slightly: \"You are well-prepared. Are you in a hurry to cultivate dragon-blooded demon beasts with the Hidden Dragon Secret Art?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! At that time, Senior said that the academy’s Hidden Dragon Secret Art is the best secret method for cultivating dragon-blooded demon beasts on the entire continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is.\" Cao Ziwei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and said: \"The academy recruits students from the outside every few years. Under normal circumstances, only by passing the assessment can one have the opportunity to enter the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, this is for ordinary cultivators. You being selected by the cave heaven shows that you possess a certain amount of luck, so the Hidden Dragon Academy invited you personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides you, the academy also invited several other cultivators who entered the cave heaven with you at that time. They all responded earlier than you and have now entered the Hidden Dragon Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As 'special recruitment students', you not only don't need to take the assessment, but the moment you enter the academy, you can obtain the Hidden Dragon Secret Art!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing didn't expect that the literary scholar from the cave heaven, the female alchemist from the Pill Cauldron Sect, and the sword cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Gate had already arrived at the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it this way, he could be considered to have acquaintances in the academy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that these few acquaintances might hate him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing didn't care about these. What he was happy about was that the acquisition conditions for the Hidden Dragon Secret Art were so simple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to be too happy.\" Cao Ziwei’s expression was gentle: \"Exempting the assessment is a privilege, but obtaining the Hidden Dragon Secret Art is not. Every student who successfully enters the academy can immediately obtain the Hidden Dragon Secret Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the Hidden Dragon Secret Art... is the prerequisite for listening to the lectures of the masters in the academy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Students who enter the academy only have the qualification to listen to lectures after they have entered the Hidden Dragon Secret Art!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, Cao Ziwei took out a stone seal and held it in his hand to show Lin Jing. On this stone seal was a coiled young dragon, which was extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Hidden Dragon Seal. Imprinting it on your body gives you the opportunity to learn the Hidden Dragon Secret Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what the core of cultivating the Hidden Dragon Secret Art is?\" Cao Ziwei looked at Lin Jing, the Pine Needle Mouse, and the Long Li and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Lin Jing and his companions to answer, he continued: \"It is not the spiritual energy that is the foundation of cultivation! It is prestige and fame!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squeak???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prestige, fame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pine Needle Mouse immediately poked its head out, what does that mean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very simple. It is that you, in this Hidden Dragon Academy, in this Hidden Dragon City, in this Ancient Domain, in this Heavenly Origin Ancient Country, in this cultivation world... the greater your fame, the deeper the Hidden Dragon Secret Art you cultivate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it a very magical secret method?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Lin Jing nodded. As expected of a secret method derived from the True Dragon Secret Art, he, this Longevity Body, liked this special method that didn't require his own cultivation the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that... to want fame, one has to cause trouble. Lin Jing was a bit embarrassed. As everyone knows, he is an honest person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, that is to say, I need to first make a certain amount of fame, enter the Hidden Dragon Secret Art, and then have the qualification to listen to lectures in the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Cao Ziwei said: \"Next, I will imprint the Hidden Dragon Seal on your body. It is the seed of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art. When your fame accumulates to a certain extent, the Hidden Dragon Seal imprinted on your body will appear with a trace of luster. When the luster covers the entire Hidden Dragon Seal, your Hidden Dragon Secret Art can be considered officially entered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, the various wonderful uses of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art will emerge in your mind, including the dragon-blooded demon beast cultivation secret method you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In addition, after the Hidden Dragon Secret Art is just entered, the Hidden Dragon Secret Art will also transform into an illusory luck young dragon hidden in the cultivator’s body according to the cultivator’s own cultivation, prestige, and luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The young luck dragons born initially have different colors, divided into four colors: white, blue, purple, and gold! The further back the color, the stronger your dragon luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This color is determined by your prestige and cultivation. Under normal circumstances, the lower the cultivation and the higher the prestige, the further back the color.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the academy, the teaching masters basically set the threshold for listening to lectures based on the color of the luck young dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, Senior Meng, who cultivates Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, only allows students with golden Hidden Dragon luck to listen to his lectures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, some Foundation Establishment methods and Core Formation methods in the academy, although theoretically provided to students for free, also require the student’s Hidden Dragon Secret Art to reach a certain level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, how much you can learn in the Hidden Dragon Academy, the attainment of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art is very critical.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Cao smiled slightly and looked at Lin Jing and others: \"Just now you were training in the Great Wilderness, I think you already have a certain amount of confidence in your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Hidden Dragon Academy, although it does not teach fighting, the simplest and most direct way to gain prestige is actually to step on the geniuses of other sects under your feet, promote it extensively, and use others as stepping stones to improve your own Hidden Dragon Secret Art!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is the so-called... Dragon Luck Plunder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the most brutal way for you students of the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, if you are not careful, you may also become a stepping stone for others, causing your prestige to plummet, and the Hidden Dragon Secret Art realm to retreat instead of advancing! As for how to improve the realm of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art, it depends on your own choices.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, there is also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said: \"The academy does not prepare cave dwellings for students to cultivate. Although there are places for cultivation, students need to rent them with spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a cultivation cave dwelling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing was slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not as good as the Beast Taming Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing suddenly knew why Sect Master Xu gave him an extra 100,000 spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without spirit stones, he might not even have the qualification to live in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that he had used a lot of spirit stones during his three months of bitter cultivation, Lin Jing felt a pinch in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, are there no special treatment for special recruitment students?\" Waiving the accommodation fee is not too much, right! \u003C\u002Fp>",1634,"2026-06-17T20:06:23.557Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d243c2f947544a2524554d1780bd25fb48c0a89d4fa873e60ec92123dd346654","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-72","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-70",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-ascension-cover.jpg"]
