What is this guy doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cave dwelling, Gao Sheng heard the call from outside and looked displeased. He and Lin Jing were currently in the middle of deepening their friendship, and Wang Xiao’s arrival was truly ill-timed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing really didn't want to continue eating this unpalatable food, so he fled the cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Wang Xiao saw Lin Jing emerge. His divine eyes flickered, and he spoke arrogantly: \"Lin Jing, three days from now, at the peak of Flying Dragon Mountain, do you dare to fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Jing shook his head: \"Please go back. I'm not in the mood right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you afraid?\" Wang Xiao frowned. Lin Jing’s reputation was currently at its zenith; it wouldn't sound good if word got out that he had been defeated. He had even defeated a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator from the Heaven Sword Sect, so it would be understandable if Lin Jing were afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Refusing a fight against a peer won't sound good if it gets out, either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Lin Jing couldn't eat his meal and was already in a bad mood. This Heavenly Divine Body didn't understand social nuances as well as Gao Sheng did. He directly extended his right hand, spiritual threads swirling between his five fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spiritual power condensed into threads?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Xiao snorted. This method of condensing spiritual power into threads, much like controlling Qi to fly, didn't count as a spell at all. It was merely a way of manipulating the form of true qi, typically used by mechanism masters and puppet masters to control their devices and puppets. Lin Jing actually wanted to use such a method against him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridiculous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thunder...\" Just as he was about to resist with his peerlessly tyrannical thunder techniques, he found that Lin Jing had vanished from the spot without warning. The speed was so great that Wang Xiao couldn't react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he regained his senses, he felt a chill on his neck. Lin Jing had appeared behind Wang Xiao at some point, his palm aimed at the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Lin Jing’s feet... no, it could be said that outside the cave dwelling, red leaves were scattered everywhere, perfectly blending with the surrounding maple leaves. One of the red leaves was rippling with spatial fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pine-Needle Rat stood on Lin Jing’s shoulder, yawning. As the spatial fluctuations dissipated, Wang Xiao’s entire body was already covered in frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... Spatial Law!\" Wang Xiao was incomparably shocked. The spell that had made him unable to react just now was definitely a Spatial Law. This beast tamer actually knew such a powerful technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao widened his eyes, intending to use his tyrannical Heavenly Divine true qi at the tenth level of Qi Refining to break through the frost. To his surprise, the cold emitted by the spiritual threads inserted into his body was terrifyingly intense, freezing his true qi along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more frightening was that as the spiritual threads roamed his body, he couldn't even control his own limbs. Instead, as Lin Jing flicked his fingers, his body uncontrollably walked down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also couldn't understand why these basic methods of a puppet master or mechanism master could control him, a Divine Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry along. I won't fight you because I know it wasn't easy for you to become famous. Since you've finally accumulated such prestige, you should strike while the iron is hot and use the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique to improve your strength first.\" Lin Jing sent him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he and the Pine-Needle Rat were both at the tenth level of Qi Refining, defeating this Heavenly Divine Body wouldn't significantly boost his reputation or cause a qualitative change. It was better to wait until Wang Xiao had made a bigger name for himself before defeating him; that would be more of a talking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Wang Xiao was sent down the mountain by Lin Jing. The spiritual threads were retracted. Although it was a clumsy imitation of the Ice Soul Gu’s power, combined with the surprise of spatial teleportation, it had still caused Wang Xiao to fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the foot of the mountain, Wang Xiao turned his head stiffly, his heart moved. He had thought Lin Jing’s mechanism attainments were limited to using special materials to craft weapons. Who would have thought this method of condensing spiritual power into threads would actually shock him, even being able to control a Divine Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that cold air... he understood in an instant why he had felt such immense pressure when Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat emerged from the cave heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had never heard of him having a special constitution before, but now it seems he is hiding it deep. He definitely has a cold-attribute constitution no less than an Ice Spirit Body. Could it be an Ice Divine Body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will definitely come back.\" Wang Xiao temporarily abandoned the idea of challenging Lin Jing, realizing that even with the help of magic treasures, he might not be a match for this Lin Jing for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left quickly, intending to go into secluded cultivation and return to challenge him once his various spell realms had advanced further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of Lin Jing suppressing the Divine Body was witnessed in its entirety by Gao Sheng inside the cave dwelling. He was also incomparably astonished. When Lin Jing returned, Gao Sheng immediately offered a toast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admire you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just the credit of the Ice Soul Gu,\" Lin Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand that much. Is the Ice Soul Gu something an ordinary person can control? The Demon Suppression Division has obtained the top ten strange gus several times, but only a very small number of people in the division can control them.\" Gao Sheng ignored Lin Jing’s modesty and praised him vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's not talk about that.\" Lin Jing smiled bitterly: \"You say, what should I do about this tongue of mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Sheng was startled and said: \"You really can't eat anything at all? Perhaps time can smooth everything over...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, let's be a bit extravagant. From now on, eat according to the standard of dragon liver and phoenix marrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No money,\" Lin Jing said decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right!\" Gao Sheng suddenly thought of something and said: \"Before we left the cave heaven, Mr. Cao seemed to say that anyone who breaks through to the extreme realm in the cave heaven can use the Academy's cave heaven for sixty years for free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know how they calculate it for you and the Pine-Needle Rat. If it's calculated independently, you'll get two cave dwellings. You could rent one of them out... collect a few decades' worth of rent in one go, and you'll have money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing: \"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gao Sheng left, Lin Jing sat cross-legged in the cave dwelling, sensing his current cultivation state. If one were to divide the tenth level of Qi Refining into early, middle, and late stages, the Pine-Needle Rat would currently belong to the late stage, and he to the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This work was organized and uploaded by...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, I must refine my alchemy skills and find a way to improve the bloodline grades of the Pine-Needle Rat and Long Li!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip to the Dragon-Phoenix Cave Heaven made Lin Jing realize more profoundly the importance of constitutional talent and bloodline talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes, intending to continue his secluded cultivation for a period of time. Not only did he have this idea, but so did the Pine-Needle Rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cave heaven, the resources it had painstakingly hoarded were almost exhausted. To feel more secure, it needed to continue hoarding for a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come out.\" Lin Jing pulled Long Li out from the depths of the cave dwelling and said: \"Do you feel like you're not in a very good mood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bo bo~ (It’s just the credit of the Ice Soul Gu~)\" Long Li’s mouth opened and closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Jing laughed out loud: \"You, a true dragon destined to soar through the nine heavens, why are you jealous of a spider?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to think you’re a male carp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Lin Jing extended his palm, and Hidden Dragon luck permeated the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, this trip to the cave heaven was thanks to the thousands of elixirs you refined. Next, I will strengthen your potential once more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The day you transform into a dragon will be the time you ascend to the nine heavens and become invincible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Dragon Secret Technique was nearing minor completion, and Lin Jing did not stint on the power of luck, strengthening Long Li once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the beast tamer loved it so much, Long Li returned to being happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strengthening complete. Next, I need to start refining second-grade elixirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Li’s smile vanished. Refining elixirs again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now its whole body was covered in the scent of elixirs, and no matter how it tried to remove it, it couldn't. \u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-17T20:06:23.557Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ea37b79e57d273018d8426a7476b8661296c0c8a3bc028907eecee807b8fcb4f","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-98","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-96",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-ascension-cover.jpg"]
