Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 567 - 22: The Beast Taming Sect Returns to the Jianghu
"What’s the matter?"
Even Lin Jing, who was standing by, was at a loss for words as he approached, knowing he was asking a rhetorical question. He initially thought that once the deal fell through, these two would resort to bullying tactics. However, the quality of the successors of the Mystic Pavilion was much higher than he had imagined.
He observed for some time, and these siblings did not show a trace of malice; instead, they were just... spending money crazily, even giving money away.
"Where did you run off to?"
"Uh, why did you change your clothes."
Meanwhile, upon seeing Lin Jing approach, Lin Lan was first pleasantly surprised, then stunned; he put on a cool demeanor.
However, one must say, this Celestial Demon incarnation somehow gave off more of a masterly vibe.
"You two, are you really not going to reconsider? My sister’s earlier proposal is worth considering. If you’re willing, you can bring this spiritual beast and become Honored Guest Elders of our Mystic Pavilion, where you can not only enjoy the offerings of the Mystic Pavilion but also cultivate on our Spirit Vein Array." Although there was no malice, Lin Jing could sense the growing pride in the other person’s heart.
Upon saying this, the Young Pavilion Master of the Mystic Pavilion did not believe they would refuse yet again.
The position of Honored Guest Elder, Spirit Vein cultivation, and even free provision of food for the spiritual beast—under such favorable conditions, not even asking for ownership of the spiritual beast... If it weren’t for his sister’s genuine fondness for various cute spiritual beasts, he wouldn’t have offered such superior terms.
However, what left the Young Pavilion Master of the Mystic Pavilion somewhat defenseless was that neither Lu Mountain Hermit nor Lin Lan, who was holding the spiritual panda, paid any attention to the newly promised conditions. Instead, they all went to greet the approaching young man in black.
The Young Pavilion Master of the Mystic Pavilion twitched at the corners of his mouth.
Who is this?
He observed for a while, finding it mysteriously impossible to discern Lin Jing’s cultivation.
But, based on Lin Lan’s earlier words, it seemed they were peers, so regardless of any treasures concealing his realm, at most, he would be at the Qi Cultivation level.
"Why refuse someone interested in purchasing a spiritual beast?"
Upon Lin Jing’s arrival, his first words made Xiao Nian extremely happy—it was finally someone straightforward, and much easier to communicate with than Lu Mountain Hermit and his disciple.
"Indeed, this gentleman makes sense."
"This spiritual panda is cultivated by me. If you wish to purchase spiritual beasts, you can look to me."
"Uh." The Young Pavilion Master of the Mystic Pavilion was stunned.
"While I can’t sell you this one, I can cultivate ones of similar quality. What do you think?"
"Who might you be?" Xiao Nian became serious instantly.
With the revival of Spiritual Qi over time, many ancient crafts have reemerged, such as Talisman Making, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Array setups...
Their Mystic Pavilion, for instance, was very skilled in Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
However, they’ve never heard of any sect excelling in the craft of rearing and nurturing spiritual beasts.
With the revival of Spiritual Qi, many wild beasts have undoubtedly transformed into spiritual beasts, yet they are near uncontrollable, seemingly tied to their innate talent potential.
So far, no faction on Earth has figured out how to transform a common beast into an intelligent spiritual beast. Forcing some Spirit Pills and Spirit Grass on them only results in negative effects, at most fostering a disobedient, fierce demon beast incapable of self-cultivation and growth.
There was simply no way to raise a spiritual beast as wise and highly cultivated as the one by this young girl’s side.
They had thought this spiritual panda possessed exceptional talent, evolving after the revival of Spiritual Qi, and was acquired by the other party by chance.
Yet it turns out it was specifically cultivated by someone.
"Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing."
When Lin Jing finished, the Young Pavilion Master of the Mystic Pavilion, though unfamiliar with the name Beast Taming Sect, immediately knew from the name that Lin Jing certainly possessed significant skills and courteously replied, "So you are a fellow cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect. May I ask what price would be required for us to obtain such a spiritual beast?"
"I don’t want your crafted pills or magic treasures, nor Spirit Stones or money. I am someone interested in some ancient relics, especially those ancient objects left from antiquity, now unusable in the present."
"If the Young Pavilion Master could help gather some, and among them, there are items I take a liking to, then I can basically fulfill your request for any spiritual beast you desire."
"It’s a deal." Xiao Nian nodded. As long as there is demand, it can be negotiated; their Mystic Pavilion lacks nothing except money. Besides, his old man also loves collecting various ancient objects. They wouldn’t even need to make a special purchase; just a round in his old man’s collection room would yield a lot of treasures.
"Give me a day, and I’ll immediately dispatch someone from Shanghai to send a batch of ancient treasures for appraisal."
"May I have a contact, so I may invite you to verify the quality of these treasures when they arrive?"
After Lin Jing provided a means of contact, the Young Pavilion Master of the Mystic Pavilion left reluctantly, along with the little princess of Mystic Pavilion. Even though Lu Mountain Hermit and Lin Lan did not know why Lin Jing wanted to collect ancient treasures, they trusted that he must have his intentions.
......
That day.
The two from the Mystic Pavilion, aiming to obtain a top-tier spiritual beast, notified the Mystic Pavilion in Shanghai to send a batch of ancient treasures to this location for transaction.
Under the Young Pavilion Master’s orders, the Mystic Pavilion acted swiftly, even deploying an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment elder to personally perform Sword Flight delivery.
"Auntie, I’m counting on you, and please be safe."
"Xiao Nian, are you sure you’re not being deceived? Beast Taming Sect... I’ve never heard of it."
The Mystic Pavilion Elder Xiao Yu, dressed in a sword robe, scrutinized Xiao Nian through the screen, asking, "These are all the old master’s treasures. If he finds out they were taken and sold while he’s in seclusion, you’ll surely be scolded."
"It’s what I saw with my own eyes; how could I deceive you, Auntie? Moreover, they know Lu Mountain Hermit. Auntie, you know the character of Lu Mountain Hermit, don’t you? Aren’t you also acquainted with him?"
"Lu Mountain Hermit’s friend?" Xiao Yu was taken aback. She was also an old acquaintance of Lu Mountain Hermit and knew his character well. If it’s a friend of Lu Mountain Hermit, it is indeed trustworthy.
The Beast Taming Sect must be one of those reclusive factions emerging.
After stressing to her aunt via the video call to take good care of those ancient treasures, Xiao Nian began to wait patiently. Although the Mystic Pavilion Elder carried many good things, Xiao Nian was confident that no one would dare to intercept the cargo of the Mystic Pavilion.
After all, the Mystic Pavilion is the largest financial backer of the Dao Alliance. Standing against the Mystic Pavilion means standing against the entire Dao Alliance.
However, it wasn’t long before an unexpected situation arose.
Xiao Nian received an infuriating call through Xiao Yu’s phone.
"Young Pavilion Master of the Mystic Pavilion, your elder is currently in my hands, along with your cargo... If you don’t want to end up with nothing, do as I say. Don’t threaten me. I’ve long been on the Dao Alliance’s wanted list, and don’t try to play tricks. Your old ancestor is not even my match, so just be obedient, and nothing will happen."
"You’re the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect." Seeing the other’s attire, Xiao Nian spoke coldly.
