In fact, that is indeed the case. If it weren't for Elder Shen Song imparting the Cyan Emperor's Longevity Technique of the Pine Needle Mouse and taking them into the depths of the Great Wilderness for training, Lin Jing might still be selling Mechanical Bamboo Spears, developing extremely slowly!

Not to mention, the terrifying existence of the Ice Soul Gu has allowed Lin Jing to gain the greatest opportunity in the Dragon and Phoenix Grotto Heaven, a key to breaking through extreme realms, also thanks to Elder Shen Song for nurturing it within his body.

It can be said that Lin Jing can now grow at such a pace, unlike most Longevity Bodies, due to Elder Shen Song's invaluable Demon Dao education.

"Do you think what I said is right?"

"I've also seen the magic seeds you planted in the Hundred Flower Valley. On a spirit vein of such a level, it will take at least over sixty years for them to mature."

"Planting them in someone else's sect is far too risky."

"Leave them to me. I'll use my grass and wood skills to catalyze them. Seven magic seeds can mature instantly."

"All used to nurture this Beast Taming Sect genius, Lin Jing, will be better for the Beast Taming Sect."

Cold sweat dripped from the foreheads of several Demon King Ancestors, their brains buzzing. Each ancestor wanted to say something, but feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from Elder Shen Song, they ultimately agreed unanimously.

"Elder is right," Heaven-Dominating Ancestor said after a silence, "Leaving these magic seeds to the elder to handle ensures the greatest value is realized as soon as possible."

Pine Cone chuckled, "Since you agree, I'll take those magic seeds. Also, don't spread the matter of my Divinity Transformation; it won't do your Beast Taming Sect any good, only harm, as I am... no longer your Beast Taming Sect's Guardian God now."

After it spoke, its figure disappeared once more, leaving behind a group of panting Demon King Ancestors on the mountain.

"Will Elder Tiandu Shen Song really use all the magic seeds to nurture Lin Jing..."

"..."

......

"I get four, you get three."

"???"

On the other side, Lin Jing was originally still discussing Mechanical Technique with Elder Yu, but suddenly Elder Shen Song called him out.

He brought the Dragon Carp to the outside world.

"Elder Mo and the Demon King Ancestors have agreed that they will give all seven of the magic seeds they obtained to us. I get four, you get three."

The flying Elder Shen Song tossed three of the magic seeds to Lin Jing.

They were precisely the seeds of the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, the Nine-Life Exquisite Grass, and the Cloud Hidden Orchid.

"What are these! Wait a minute, all for us? That's so generous?" Lin Jing said in astonishment.

"Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, after your Dragon Carp reaches the Demon Core Stage, you can feed it to it, and it should instantly advance from early-stage Core Formation to Core Formation Perfected, saving much arduous cultivation."

The Dragon Carp, which has always floated by Lin Jing's side, suddenly widened its eyes.

Its breathing quickened.

It knew that as long as it kept following, great opportunities would come!

After Core Formation... will it be its world?

The Dragon Carp looked at the Pine Cone more favorably, no longer remembering being beaten by it.

"As for the Nine-Life Exquisite Grass, once mature, Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators can consume it for a terrifying self-healing ability. If an ordinary mortal body takes it, even if only bones remain, they should regenerate. However, since you're a Longevity Body, the effect might be reduced. Even so, you shouldn't need Blood Replenishing Pills or the like anymore."

"In the future, after feeding your pet beast with Longevity Blood, your strong physique will quickly replenish any depletion of qi and blood, preventing weakness."

"The Cloud Hidden Orchid, just consume it; so that you won't lose yourself on the future path of longevity."

After Elder Shen Song spoke, Lin Jing took a deep breath. However, he was more curious about what the four magic seeds Elder Shen Song took were.

The Nine Yang Divine Mushroom is very strong, but sadly, Lin Jing feels it won't be useful within the next ten years.

The Nine-Life Exquisite Grass is good, but Lin Jing vaguely feels uneasy, hoping that he won't be captured by a powerful demon beast in the future.

As for the Cloud Hidden Orchid, Lin Jing is a Longevity Body, but since he's only been cultivating for a few years, he hasn't yet experienced the ravages of time and lacks any meaningful understanding.

"What kind of look is that?"

"You think I took all the good things?"

Elder Shen Song noticed Lin Jing's look and snorted, "A Spirit Plant to increase lifespan is useless to you, and one to increase comprehension, you have the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, so you lack nothing. As for one that assists breakthroughs, you have a long lifespan; you can slowly go into seclusion, so it's useless. I'm planning to use those three Spirit Plants as a supplement, with another Spirit Plant containing the power of thunder as the main component, to cultivate a Thunder Pine Avatar."

"So that when the time comes, I'm not lacking in the power of thunder and get struck to death by tribulation."

"Although your cultivation is far from needing to face tribulation, remember to make some preparation in advance."

"Either practice thunder techniques or contract a lightning beast. In any case, do not remain ignorant of the power of thunder."

"Elder is right," Lin Jing nodded immediately...

Legend has it that tribulation is a rule set by the Immortal Realm to test lower realm cultivators and a means of punishment against them.

In essence, it is celestial thunder.

Generally, human cultivators will only experience tribulation upon reaching the Profound Void Stage.

But some who cultivate special cultivation techniques, or belong to special races, may face tribulation earlier due to violating the laws between realms.

For example, the race of plants and trees, which were prohibited by the Immortal Palace from becoming spirits.

Once, Senior Brother Ouyang also discussed with Lin Jing, worrying that even if a method to revive the demon race was found, something more terrible might happen, such as being targeted by tribulation.

A tribulation lightning is different from ordinary lightning, terrifying to the extreme. Most high-cultivation cultivators don't die from fighting, nor from the exhaustion of their lifespan, but during a breakthrough, when their path isn't strong enough, perishing under the trial of tribulation.

Though practicing lightning techniques and cultivating a lightning beast may still be hard to resist tribulation, it's better than knowing nothing of thunder's power—a layer of insurance at least providing some resistance to lightning.

...

Lin Jing returned groggily to the main hall, where Elder Mo also returned in a similar state.

Elder Yu noticed the change in both their expressions from when they left and couldn't help but be curious.

"Lin Jing, when do you plan to leave?"

"It's not very urgent..." Lin Jing replied. Although he couldn't stay too long, ten days to half a month wouldn't be a problem.

"That's great."

Elder Mo took a deep breath and said, "The Demon King Ancestors plan to bestow the title 'Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect' on you. How about holding a ceremony a month from now? Many sects from the Great Wilderness will be invited to attend the grand ceremony, re-establishing the majesty of the Beast Taming Sect."

Lin Jing: ???

"But the Sect Leader isn't here!"

"The Demon King Ancestors say that the Sect Leader certainly wouldn't refuse. He has no sons or daughters and won't suddenly produce a 'Young Sect Leader' to compete with you for the heir's position. Only an adopted daughter, who doesn't even practice Beast Taming Technique, theoretically cannot become the next Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect," Elder Mo said, looking at Lin Jing.
