Lin Fan, Gifted in Beast Taming
Wang Ying seemed quite pleased with what Ling Yunhong said, and her face lit up with even more joy.
"Junior brother speaks so sweetly. I've remembered everything you said today. If I fail to reach the Golden Core in the future, your senior sister is shameless enough to make you pay with your Golden Core cultivation." Wang Ying said with a smile.
"Senior sister, you're joking again. With your extraordinary talent, let alone the Golden Core stage, even the Nascent Soul Realm is not out of the question. How could a mere Golden Core stage possibly hinder your Dao Path enlightenment?"
Ling Yunhong knew Wang Ying's personality well, and said with a smile.
"Haha, then I'll take your kind words, junior brother."
"Now that you, Junior Brother, have also entered the Golden Core, I wonder if you would be willing to help our sect overcome the current crisis?" Wang Ying chuckled twice before speaking.
"That's only natural. Since the sect helped me achieve enlightenment, I should naturally do my best to assist your sect."
"However, my strength is weak, and I dare not presume to help the sect overcome the current crisis. I can only offer my meager strength."
Ling Yunhong said.
Seeing that Ling Yunhong, an outsider, had responded to the matter so decisively instead of immediately leaving the secret realm to seek refuge, Wang Ying couldn't help but think more highly of Ling Yunhong.
Then she said with a smile.
"Very well then, Ling Junior Brother, let's head to the mountain gate together."
Ling Yunhong nodded slightly, and then went with Wang Ying to the sect's mountain gate in the Azure Sea Secret Realm.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Ling Yunhong nodded and greeted the sect's Golden Core cultivators before beginning to channel his spiritual energy into the floating treasure realm.
Although Ling Yun had just entered the Golden Core, his cultivation level was only at the Golden Core First Layer.
Yet he remained Golden Core True Person. In this secret realm, only twenty-odd Golden Core cultivators from various sects and Azure Sea True Lord surpassed him.
With his help, the power of the Restoration Treasure Mirror increased by two or three percent, and its ability to Restoration Treasure Mirror also improved.
The territory of Huai River County, Yuan Province.
A massive surge of spiritual energy was erupting within the Rock Scale Snake Den, with external spiritual energy pouring wildly into Snake Cave.
Outside this snake cave, Ling Pengliang, a second-tier spirit plant cultivator who has been tending to the many spirit plants there for years, and Ling Chengxin, a second-tier alchemist who has been stationed at the headquarters of the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce in "Jiaomang Market," the largest market in the Bailingmen territory, both stood here.
Furthermore, both of them looked expectantly into the depths of the Snake Cave.
About half a day later, the spiritual energy fluctuations that had been surging within the Snake Cave came to an abrupt end.
Then, a tremendous pressure from the Foundation Establishment suddenly emanated from the Snake Cave.
Immediately afterwards, a young monk emerged from the Snake Cave.
"Congratulations, Lin Daoyou, on reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm." Ling Chengxin and Ling Pengliang offered their congratulations simultaneously upon seeing this.
The young cultivator surnamed Lin said modestly, "I was able to enter the Foundation Establishment this time thanks to the Foundation Establishment Pill given to me by the Lineage of my two fellow Lineage. Without the help of those Foundation Establishment Pill, I'm afraid I would have had difficulty breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"It's possible that I'll spend my entire life lingering at the Qi Refining stage."
This young cultivator surnamed Lin is named Lin Yuan. He is the same person who, two years ago, Ling Chengxin the second-tier pill manual and the second-tier inheritance with Alchemist, at the Serpent Dragon Marketplace Sky Talisman Commerce Association.
The Ling Clan paid a huge price to obtain the Beast Taming Inheritance from this person.
A year ago, he spent a full 29,500 Spirit Stone to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Serpent Dragon Marketplace. This pill could increase the probability of a Qi Refining cultivator entering the Foundation Establishment by 30%. It was with the help of this pill that he was able to obtain the second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance from Lin Yuan.
He also bought another set of second-tier pill manuals from Lin Yuan that were closely related to the art of beast taming.
After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lin Yuan, to be on the safe side, spent another year in seclusion at the headquarters of the Sky Talisman Commerce Association Serpent Dragon Marketplace before telling Ling Chengxin, who was trading Beast Taming Inheritance and pill manuals, that he wanted to try to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi.
The most basic condition for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment is to be in a place rich in Spiritual Qi, so that one can better absorb Spiritual Qi into the body during the Qi Infusion.
After learning what Lin Yuan wanted, Ling Chengxin kept his promise and immediately took him to the Lineage's Spirit Vein, "Rock Scale Snake Den," which was closest to the Serpent Dragon Marketplace. He hoped that Lin Yuan could use the rich Spiritual Qi within the Rock Scale Snake Den to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Although the Rock Scale Snake Den also brings some benefit to the Peace Cloud Yang Clan, it is also considered part of the Ling Clan's Spirit Vein, and thus is shared by both families.
After the Ling Clan became Golden Core Family, they did not forget the Yang Clan's contributions and instead monopolized the Second Grade Middle Rank Spirit Vein within the Rock Scale Snake Den.
Both Ling Chengxin and Ling Pengliang, Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Ling Clan clan, were very satisfied with Lin Yuan's attitude.
At this moment, Ling Chengxin also had some other ideas.
Two years ago, after Lin Yuan went to the Sky Talisman Commerce Association headquarters in Serpent Dragon Marketplace and sold his pill manual and Beast Taming Inheritance, he settled down at the Sky Talisman Commerce Association headquarters and became Ling Chengxin's neighbor.
Ling Chengxin was quite interested in Lin Yuan, a Rogue Cultivator who could produce a second-tier pill manual and a second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance, and often chatted with him.
He also learned from their casual conversation that Lin Yuan was originally Rogue Cultivator from the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Two years ago, he came to the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect because at least two-fifths of the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had been occupied by the Poison Blood Demon Sect and the Demon Beast of the Purple Scorpion Mountain, making the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect extremely chaotic.
To avoid death, Lin Yuan fled to the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect.
There are many Rogue Cultivator in the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who do things like Lin Yuan, and the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect is adjacent to the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, so the two sects are intersecting.
This has become the preferred target for Rogue Cultivator in the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, which has led to an increase of about 40% to 50% in the number of Rogue Cultivator in the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect in recent years.
After Lin Yuan fled to the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect, he returned to his old profession, making a living by hunting Demon Beast.
Later, during a hunt for Demon Beast, he found a cave abode by fortuitous opportunity and obtained the second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance and second-tier pill recipe that had been sold to the Ling Clan.
The matter of inheritance and alchemy manuals was only revealed to Ling Chengxin by Lin Yuan after he reached a deal with the Ling Clan.
The deal was done, and Ling Chengxin swore on his life that he would not harm Lin Yuan afterward, so Lin Yuan dared to reveal the matter.
In addition, Ling Chengxin also learned that Lin Yuan, this Rogue Cultivator, had the Spirit Root aptitude of earth, wood, and water, and that he had been comprehending the Three Spirit Roots -tier Beast Taming Inheritance.
In just two years, he reached the First Rank Low Grade level in the art of beast taming. Judging by this progress alone, he can be considered to have considerable talent in the art of beast taming.
Ling Chengxin didn't value his talent for cultivation, but his talent for controlling beasts was something the Ling Clan desperately needed.
The Ling Clan clan alone has a considerable number of Spirit Beast in its Clan Mountain, numbering in the hundreds.
Ling Pengyun recently sent another message saying that more than 300 more Demon Beast cubs have been collected in the White Cloud Mountain Range.
Under these circumstances, the number of Spirit Beast in the Ling Clan will reach four hundred. The Ling Clan currently has no Beast Tamer, which is exactly the time when they are in need of Beast Tamer.
Now that such a talent has appeared, Ling Chengxin naturally does not want to let him go, so he asked him in a friendly manner.
"Lin Daoyou, now that you've reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, do you have somewhere to go?"
Lin Yuan's expression shifted slightly, and he didn't hide his thoughts, shaking his head and saying, "As a Rogue Cultivator, my only path to survival is hunting Demon Beast."
Upon hearing Ling Chengxin's face lit up with even more joy. "Lin Daoyou, hunting Demon Beast is truly dangerous and not a long-term endeavor. Would you be willing to serve as Guest Elder in my Ling Clan?"
"I will not hide it from you, fellow Daoist. Although my Ling Clan is now the only Golden Core Family in the Yan Kingdom, our clan has a weak foundation and has not been rising for long. Although we have Golden Core True Person in charge, we are extremely lacking in Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators. We cannot compare with the other five major Golden Core sects in the Yan Kingdom. We are in dire need of manpower, especially talents like you who are skilled in a hundred arts."
"If Lin Daoyou is willing to come to my Ling Clan and serve as a Beast Tamer to manage Spirit Beast, my Ling Clan is willing to give you five Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill every year as your salary."
Upon hearing these conditions, and the fact that he only needed to manage the Spirit Beast, Lin Yuan was immediately tempted.
Five Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill are available on the market, each worth two hundred Spirit Stone.
Five of them would amount to a thousand or a hundred Spirit Stone.
This salary is nearly double that of Guest Elder retainer in an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family.
The salary of Foundation Establishment Guest Elder in an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family is at most around five hundred Spirit Stone.
The generous offering from the Ling Clan was far more valuable than anything else, given the risk of slaying Demon Beast to gain profit.
Furthermore, two years ago, Lin Yuan traded a valuable second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance and a second-tier pill manual with the Ling Clan. The Ling Clan never breached their contract and even lent him a Second Rank Spirit Vein to help him break through to the Foundation Establishment.
This clearly shows that the Ling Clan was relatively fair.
Under these circumstances, Lin Yuan did not hesitate for long and immediately agreed with a smile.
"It is truly an honor for me to be accepted as Guest Elder in a noble family."
