Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 548 - 3: Cell Phone

The girl in the yellow dress swiftly dashed away. After some time, she realized that the Foundation Establishment elder hadn’t pursued her, and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That scared me to death."

"How could there be a Foundation Establishment elder here..."

Without daring to be careless, she continued rushing in one direction, while Lin Jing watched the back of the yellow dress girl leave without stopping her.

A moment later, a little squirrel popped out from Lin Jing’s clothes, squeaking.

"Huang Zhixin, is it..."

"A cultivation of the Qi Cultivation Stage Fourth Layer; given the current concentration of spiritual energy, this age isn’t considered low. She’s somewhat of a little genius."

With the squirrel’s current Soul Dao achievement, just by locking eyes with the girl in the yellow dress, it could peer into the other party’s soul memory through their eyes, akin to soul searching.

This girl at the Qi Cultivation Stage Fourth Layer is named Huang Zhixin, and she is a disciple of Cloudview Temple. This Cloudview Temple only has two cultivators...

Apart from her, there’s the temple master, who is also her biological grandfather, Doaist Qianyun, with a cultivation of the Qi Cultivation Stage Ninth Layer.

However, this Cloudview Temple is not the only cultivation force in this mountain range.

After the revival of spiritual energy, these mountains became the areas with the highest concentration of spiritual energy, making it incomparable to the industrialized cities whose spiritual energy is severely depleted. Thus, many cultivators moved from the cities to cultivate in the deep mountains following the revival.

Like Huang Mountain, there are a dozen or so similar cultivation forces gathered here. Looking at the entirety of the Hua Nation, it’s considered a relatively large gathering place for cultivators.

Cloudview Temple is closest to Lin Jing’s current location, which led Huang Zhixin, who cultivates nearby, to notice something unusual.

"According to that girl’s memory, across this vast Huang Mountain, among dozens of cultivators, not a single one has reached Foundation Establishment. The highest cultivation is just batches of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivators..."

"Besides, this girl doesn’t have a deep understanding of the cultivation world. She only knows that the Foundation Establishment stage is presumably the pinnacle of the cultivation world on Earth today..."

"Not quite right, I distinctly sensed there’s a Foundation Establishment realm here in Huang Mountain, although it’s a demon beast... and not at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment... but rather, at Great Perfection," Lin Jing was surprised.

But... none of this concerned him.

Cloudview Temple.

Upon quickly returning to the monastery built in the deep mountain, Huang Zhixin hurriedly woke up an elder man sleeping inside the temple, "Grandpa, grandpa, wake up."

"So noisy, are you a gourd boy." Huang Qianyun opened his eyes impatiently, "What time is it, have you finished your cultivation?"

"I just encountered a senior at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Whoosh."

Huang Qianyun instantly got up, stared wide-eyed at his granddaughter, becoming fully awake: "What did you say just now?"

"I said, I just encountered a senior at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"What did the other party look like?" Huang Qianyun pursued the question.

"He seemed to be in his twenties, dressed in a green robe, black hair tied with a red rope..." Huang Zhixin immediately described the appearance of Lin Jing she saw, including the cause and effect.

"Strange, among the Foundation Establishment seniors I know, there’s no such person," Huang Qianyun said gravely, "Are you certain he’s a Foundation Establishment expert??"

"Didn’t you teach me the ’Cloud Eyes’, and say that any cultivator at the Qi Cultivation stage, their cultivation could be seen through? You also advised me never to offend cultivators I can’t see through and stay as far away as possible."

"Then it might really be him." Huang Qianyun’s expression shifted unpredictably, "The senior you met is likely not a modern person who began cultivating due to the revival of spiritual energy, but an ancient cultivator from times past..."

"Come, let’s visit that senior together." Huang Qianyun started rummaging through things in the temple, and then took Huang Zhixin with him, heading back towards Lin Jing’s direction.

"Go again?"

"That senior didn’t blame you for your collision, indicating he’s reasonable. It’s no harm to meet him."

"Foundation Establishment, even more precious than giant pandas."

At this time, Lin Jing was seated cross-legged atop the mountain, still not begun his secluded cultivation. He had already calculated that the girl from just now was surely going to bring someone along.

Before he started cultivating, he needed to ask the other party for a favor.

"Junior Huang Qianyun, my junior accidentally collided with you earlier, senior. Please forgive us, and we hope you’ll accept this token of apology."

Upon arriving, Huang Qianyun was apologetic and presented a jade box. As the source world’s overlord, Lin Jing was initially uninterested in the gift given by this Qi Cultivation stage junior cultivator. However, upon Huang Qianyun opening the jade box and revealing the stone inside, Lin Jing was momentarily taken aback.

It was actually a celestial-grade treasure, a Moonstone. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

No, there were some differences. Although it resembled the celestial-grade gemstone Moonstone from Lin Jing’s memory, the spiritual energy within was severely depleted, and the power it contained was only equivalent to a few low-grade spirit stones.

In that instant, Lin Jing immediately understood that although spiritual energy was depleted, Earth was, after all, an ancient immortal realm. The quantity of natural treasures is definitely incomparable to the lower realms. As spiritual energy revives, these treasures will rapidly be reborn.

"It’s actually a good material for Artifact Refining." Being celestial-grade, Lin Jing accepted it unreservedly. This type of mineral could be used to refine an Immortal Artifact. Although it had some flaws at present, after the squirrel synthesized it, it could quickly become a treasure.

Upon seeing Lin Jing accept the gift, Huang Qianyun was immediately delighted like a child, asking, "Senior, have you been in seclusion constantly, and just recently emerged?"

"If senior does not mind, you are welcome to stay at my Cloudview Temple temporarily."

"No need." Lin Jing spoke, "You probably have something to ask of me, feel free to say it. Since I’ve accepted your gift, as long as it’s not excessive, I can assist you."

Huang Qianyun did not expect this senior to be so approachable, he became even more excited and said, "How dare I, how dare I, it’s an honor to help senior, it’s nothing, it’s nothing. I wonder if senior has any other places where this junior can be of service, I will certainly do my best."

Lin Jing saw the other party wanted to curry favor with him, he didn’t refuse. Having just returned to Earth, he did indeed need some people to help him with matters.

For instance, his recent discovery; as a former Immortal Realm, Earth must still hold many treasures.

"Then help me gather some more... similar items." Lin Jing pointed to the floating jade box beside him, "Anything related to cultivation will do."

Huang Qianyun nodded repeatedly. These things, valuable in Lin Jing’s eyes, were in reality considered only equivalent to spirit stones by ordinary cultivators. Though precious, they were far less precious than the opportunity to be acquainted with a Foundation Establishment elder.

"Hmm... most importantly... can any of you go down the mountain to buy me a smartphone?"

"With internet capability."

"Not one for the elderly."

The two of them: ???

This senior... actually knows about smartphones? And specifically knows about phones for the elderly?!"
