Uh...

No one expected that Lin Jing would reveal himself to participate in the Dan Meeting of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

This sent the academy scholars into a state of utter confusion...

Indeed, if Lin Jing successfully registers for the Dan Meeting, during the event, neither the Tian Shi tribe nor the Yin Corpse Sect would likely dare cause trouble in Heaven-Reaching City.

But what happens after the Dan Meeting ends?

Lin Jing, located in Heaven-Reaching City, would be like a fish in a barrel.

By then, not only would his existing enemies...

Given his identity as a Longevity Body, even Demon Beasts without grievances would surely want a share of the spoils.

So if they were Lin Jing, they would undoubtedly choose to remain hidden, secretly meet with the academy's cultivators, and first return to the Ancient Country!

Participating in the Dan Meeting... is not advisable.

Unless, the pill Lin Jing mentioned is extremely special!

Special enough to ensure his victory at the Dan Meeting.

Then, let Heaven-Reaching Tower value his Alchemy Dao talent and grant him further protection.

A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake; in Qingzhou, Ancient Country cultivators are ultimately outsiders, and Heaven-Reaching Tower is the leading human force.

In Qingzhou, besides a few Demon Beast forces, there are rarely forces that can compare to Heaven-Reaching Tower.

If he can obtain the protection of Heaven-Reaching Tower, then all the threats facing Lin Jing would no longer be threats.

Could it be that Lin Jing intends to display his Alchemy Dao talent and join Heaven-Reaching Tower?

This possibility, in the eyes of the academy scholars, is tens of times greater than him joining the Demon Court.

After all, as a Longevity Body, joining the Demon Court would be too dangerous.

Relatively speaking, although Heaven-Reaching Tower is also a mix of good and bad, it is, fortunately, a human force, and the flesh of a Longevity Body is ineffective against his own kind.

Moreover, Lin Jing did indeed exhibit a very powerful Alchemy Dao talent in the Ancient Country, such as the Dragon Ascending Pill, so the scholars speculated that Lin Jing seeking the protection of Heaven-Reaching Tower is not surprising.

However, joining Heaven-Reaching Tower would mean essentially departing from the Ancient Country...

"Be careful!"

While everyone's attention was focused on Lin Jing, a crack suddenly opened in the void, from which a giant claw extended.

The palace-garbed elder of the academy worried it was aimed at Lin Jing, instantly moved outside the city. However, the giant claw only took away the frozen Princess Leilong without intending to attack Lin Jing.

"Elder Fan, don't let them go, that Leilong still owes Elder Lin a drop of scale blood!"

The Twin Body panicked as Princess Leilong was dragged away.

"It's okay, I trust that Princess Leilong will keep her promise." Lin Jing waved his hand, saying to the Twin Body. Princess Leilong was merely taken home.

They... will see each other again shortly.

"It's really you..." As Elder Fan descended, one scholar after another arrived, all staring at Lin Jing, astonished.

Ultimately, it was Lin Jing himself who appeared, rather than the Ancient Country successfully finding him.

"Lin Jing… when you said you wanted to participate in the Dan Meeting, what did you mean?" Elder Fan asked: "Don't you know your current situation? I'll immediately contact the vice-principal to protect you back to the Ancient Country!"

"Elder Fan." Lin Jing saluted: "Please, there's no need to worry yourself."

"The reward of this Dan Meeting includes something I need, so regardless of circumstances, the student must participate in it."

"As for safety, the student found a strong Guardian from the Tian Shi tribe. With her protection, I believe there shouldn't be any major issues."

"Are you saying..." Elder Fan's eyes focused; they naturally knew what Lin Jing did in the Tian Shi tribe.

Back then, the academy's strongmen speculated that the power of the Celestial Lion Saintess, Gu Qianqiu, was likely fleeting, but now Lin Jing claimed that her power... still existed?

How could that be...

However... earlier Lin Jing arrived through a space vortex, and the ability to open such a spatial passage can generally only be done at the Void Profound stage. So, does this mean that the power of the Celestial Lion Saintess, Gu Qianqiu, is indeed still present?

"Even so, it's still too dangerous!"

Elder Fan spoke; even a Void Profound stage Guardian might not be able to protect Lin Jing.

Just the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Sect have several Void Profound stages, not to mention countless Demon Beasts coveting the Longevity Body!

"As long as I want to hide, no one can find us. Elder, rest assured, I still want to participate in this Dan Meeting."

At this moment, Lin Jing naturally wouldn't reveal that he had already become the Demon Court Saint Child; that would make it inconvenient for fishing.

A Void Profound stage Guardian is just at a suitable stage…

This kind of Guardian, neither supreme nor weak, upon discovery by the enemy, the choice will definitely be to find more allies to deal with him and divide the flesh.

This way, more fish can be caught.

"Elder Fan, my mind is made up. Regarding everything else, please wait until after the Dan Meeting. There is something in the Heaven-Reaching Tower that I must obtain." Lin Jing said.

"Also, you two should stay here, but I'll take the things inside you first, to prevent you from encountering danger because of it again."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Lin and Jiang Qi and stretched out his hand to grab.

As the owners of the Ice Soul Child Gu, if left outside, when the strong ones of the Gu God Sect arrive at Heaven-Reaching Dao, they can easily encounter problems. Instead of taking the two away, it's more convenient to first take out the Child Gu and return it to them later.

Jiang Lin and Jiang Qi clasped their fists lightly, feeling a sense of relief. Although they lost a great power this way, at least they no longer had to live in fear.

Just being targeted by Princess Leilong earlier really gave them a fright.

"Elder Fan, won't you stop him???" As Lin Jing left and flew towards Heaven-Reaching City, a scholar asked.

"Alas." Elder Fan shook his head and said: "How to stop him? The one who sent him here is obviously at the Void Profound stage, most likely that Celestial Lion Saintess Gu Qianqiu. Although I don't know what method Lin Jing used to obtain her protection, following her is undoubtedly safer than staying here."

"It's better to contact the vice-principal quickly."

"From his words, the Heaven-Reaching Tower has something he must obtain. If I'm not mistaken, it's most likely for this Longevity Body. This Celestial Lion Saintess getting such power must come with a significant price, and coincidentally, the Heaven-Reaching Tower just has something to compensate for this price. This, I'm guessing, is why Lin Jing must participate in the Dan Meeting regardless of the circumstances."

"Let him go. Besides contacting the vice-principal, I will also contact the Ancient Country to invite more strong people. By the time the Dan Meeting ends, if we can bring Lin Jing and a Void Profound stage Longevity Body back to the Ancient Country, it would undoubtedly be the best outcome."

Elder Fan paused to imagine.

Before long, Lin Jing had already descended in Heaven-Reaching City in his true form, and since he didn't disguise himself, someone quickly recognized him.

Lin Jing had a clear goal; he promptly went to the Dan Meeting registration place in Heaven-Reaching Tower, taking out the Token given by Jiegeng Alchemist from back then…
