Let’s understand the academy more thoroughly before making a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had survived three months in the Great Wilderness; he didn't care much about the cultivation cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have thought that on the first day of entering this Hidden Dragon Academy, he would be homeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, many students live outside the academy and only come to the academy when there are famous teachers giving lectures. This doesn't matter. Within Hidden Dragon City, it is very safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Ziwei said: \"Since this is the case, why don't you go to Hidden Dragon City to find a place to live first? This pavilion is on the outskirts of the academy; if you cultivate purple or golden Hidden Dragon luck later, perhaps there will be teachers in the academy who will take a fancy to your talent, accept you as a student, and solve the cultivation place for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come? I will imprint the Hidden Dragon Seal for you.\" He picked up the seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Jing stretched out the back of his right hand and said: \"Senior Cao, you can imprint the Hidden Dragon Seal here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other hand... was the mark of the Ice Soul Gu sealed by the Divine Wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't let this Hidden Dragon luck and the Ice Soul Gu fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Ziwei gently pressed the Dragon Seal on Lin Jing’s hand. After the white young dragon pattern was imprinted, it quickly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, the guidance is complete, and I will look forward to the time when your name rings out in the Hidden Dragon Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He completed the guidance and actually disappeared from where he was. Neither the token representing the academy students nor the objects introducing the academy were given!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this Hidden Dragon Academy reliable?\" Lin Jing looked at the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this young dragon mark should be able to represent his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the situation of the academy, let’s explore it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A place that cultivates immortal officials, of course it’s not reliable.\" After Cao Ziwei disappeared, a pinecone flew out of Lin Jing’s pocket and said: \"But that cultivator just now was quite powerful, Nascent Soul perfection cultivation, and his combat power was not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, compared to you and Mr. Cao, who is more powerful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think? Just a Nascent Soul! However, there are countless great beings in the Hidden Dragon Academy, so I can’t be counted as anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Pine chuckled and said: \"Now you know why I let you have a certain amount of strength before coming to the Hidden Dragon Academy? The core of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art is strength. You find a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the academy who is easier to pinch and beat him up. Your Hidden Dragon Secret Art will be almost entered!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi Refining fighting Foundation Establishment, this is something that geniuses of top sects can do. It will definitely make you famous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Know my painstaking efforts now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing was silent. The Pine Needle Mouse and the Long Li recalled the painful season of fighting the wooden man and nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the academy... are easier to beat than the wooden man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Cao just said that the Hidden Dragon Academy does not teach fighting. Then what do they teach specifically?\" Lin Jing asked: \"The way of being an official?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the academy students leave, they will all go to the city of a remote place to serve as a city lord to train, to verify their learning results. So what the Hidden Dragon Academy teaches is naturally how to govern a city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There may be agricultural cultivators who come to teach the students here how to farm and cultivate the land to improve the agricultural level of a city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There may be old monsters proficient in Feng Shui who come to teach students how to plan the architectural layout of the city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There will even be physiognomists who come to teach you how to judge people, judge people’s character and destiny, know people and use them well. These are all things that an immortal official needs to master in the process of governing a city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short, the academy teaches all kinds of messy things, except for fighting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, without a certain amount of strength, it is difficult to learn these things, as the teaching master just said. Of course, gaining prestige is not just one way of strength. If you refine an immortal pill, an immortal weapon, or subdue an immortal beast, you will also become famous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this even more outrageous?\" Lin Jing said: \"Killing a Questioning stage great being is easier than these.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" The Divine Pine said: \"So, it is still reliable to speak with strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know the Genius List of the Heavenly Secret Tower? This should be a shortcut for cultivating the Hidden Dragon Secret Art. You can pay attention to it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genius List, produced by the Heavenly Secret Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human lists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who can be on the list are all geniuses among geniuses in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spread of this Genius List is not just one domain, but the entire Heavenly Origin Ancient Country, and even cultivators outside some ancient countries will pay attention to the Ancient Country Genius List.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If students of the academy want to gain huge prestige quickly and cultivate the Hidden Dragon Secret Art, getting on this list is enough, and there is no need to make other efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, try to get on the individual list first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Pine said: \"The realm of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art is still very important. Listen to all the courses in the academy that you can listen to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't ignore these courses just because they don't teach you how to improve your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a certain understanding of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art. Only when you obtain an official position can you exert its true power. The stronger your official luck, the stronger the Hidden Dragon Secret Art. And when you want to obtain official luck, you cannot leave the governance of the city. What this academy teaches is very important! Having strength alone is not enough to govern a city well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. I might not know the others, but when it comes to listening to lectures and learning, I have rich experience.\" Lin Jing nodded and said: \"However, for this Genius List, with our current strength, is it a bit difficult?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head to look at the Pine Needle Mouse and the Long Li, one at the ninth level of Qi Refining, one at the eighth level of Qi Refining...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genius List, he had also seen it a few months ago. In the Human List, the 100th place, which is the last place, was a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator! And that kind of cultivator who could kill Foundation Establishment perfection demon beasts by leaping levels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't ask you to enter now! Wait until you reach Foundation Establishment, then consider the Genius List. Anyway, you are not old!\" The Divine Pine said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condition for getting on the Human List of the Genius List is that the bone age is under thirty and the cultivation is under Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condition for getting on the Earth List is that the bone age is under sixty and the cultivation is higher than Golden Core and lower than Nascent Soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven List is for those under a hundred years old and with cultivation reaching the Nascent Soul stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the hundreds or thousands of years of lifespan of Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, those who can get on the list under this restriction are indeed worthy of being called geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just find a Foundation Establishment cultivator who is ordinary and start with him to enter the Hidden Dragon Secret Art first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the academy, I won't be by your side. You work hard yourselves. If there is danger, I will descend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Divine Pine finished speaking with Lin Jing and his companions, it seemed to be considering something. It left a life-saving pinecone, and its true body fled the academy, leaving only Lin Jing sighing outside the pavilion with the Zen staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\" He thought for a moment, then took the Pine Needle Mouse and the Long Li to wander around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden Dragon City. As they wandered, they unknowingly walked out of the academy. Smelling the fragrance of food and following the flow of people, they came to a restaurant with excellent business, \"Immortal Guest Comes\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, guest, why are you bringing your own ingredients? We don't have processing services here.\" Lin Jing had stayed in the Great Wilderness for three months and wanted to improve his food first. Who knew that the waiter welcoming people outside the restaurant would look at the Long Li stuck in the Zen staff with big eyes and talk nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pop!!!\" The Long Li was furious. Where did it look like an ingredient?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squeak, squeak...\" The Pine Needle Mouse stole a laugh. It actually felt that the current Long Li really looked like an ingredient, not only with delicious meat, but also fragrant when soaked in water, and later it was marinated with chili peppers, simply spicy and delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you have eyes? This is my spirit beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Sorry, guest, please come in...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing did not make things difficult for the waiter. After all, carrying a Long Li that didn't enter the water was indeed strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered the restaurant, found an empty table at random, and looked at the dishes. Just at this moment, a voice from the next table attracted his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard? Hidden Dragon Academy student Fang Shilin is setting up a ring in the south of the city, wanting to challenge a hundred consecutive victories in fighting at the same level. Can he succeed? He seems to be in the early Foundation Establishment stage! How much true essence can an early Foundation Establishment stage have? And where are there so many early Foundation Establishment stages to fight him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember he is from the Long Spring Valley, the Young Valley Master of the Long Spring Valley. The cultivation method practiced by the Long Spring Valley has an extremely fast true qi recovery speed. After a fight, the consumption is negligible. Perhaps he intends to use the characteristics of the cultivation method to accept wheel battles to accumulate prestige. Even if he cannot achieve a hundred consecutive victories, this gimmick is enough. These Hidden Dragon Academy cultivators make a move every few days, this is not fresh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Lin Jing and the Pine Needle Mouse heard this and looked at each other. Long Spring Valley, Lin Jing was very familiar with it, a sect specializing in wood methods, and like the Beast Taming Sect, it was located in the Wilderness! Wood method... the soft persimmon mentioned by Senior Magic Pine, it is really easy to find. He really has a certain amount of luck. \u003C\u002Fp>",1887,"2026-06-17T20:06:23.557Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","65b35a323797cd49430b6e1a309f793d671ab6c7bd8a5daa2c023b2f5ec958a5","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-73","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-71",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-ascension-cover.jpg"]
