Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 371 - 68: Mass Production of Divine Bodies
Lin Jing made his way west, his speed like lightning. Although he hadn’t comprehended any Power of Heaven and Earth after his explosion to the Divinity Transformation Stage, the sheer Mana foundation he possessed allowed him to maximize the Buddhist Light Technique.
"Lv Family..."
On the borderlands, in Wangxian City, although the Lv Family had declined, they were still a dominant force among the Immortal Cities nearby.
Before arriving at Wangxian City, Lin Jing concealed his presence. His Divine Sense swept over the city, swiftly locking onto the cultivator with the highest cultivation here.
It was an elderly man in the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation, nearing the end of his days. In his current state, not to mention Void Profound, achieving late stage of Divinity Transformation seemed out of reach for him in this life.
In one step, Lin Jing arrived at the place where he was secluded in meditation. He appeared behind the elder, who realized it only after a breath had passed. The seated, meditating elder shuddered and instantly rose to look at Lin Jing standing behind him.
He was drenched in sweat, staring at the young man before him, completely unaware of when this person had entered his defense array-guarded cave dwelling.
"Who are you?" the Lv Family Ancestor was like facing a formidable foe, his entire mana rising. Yet, after a moment, he abandoned his resistance. The pressure from this young man was too overwhelming, and he did not wish to fight.
"I wonder if my friend has some affairs here?"
At this moment, Lin Jing hadn’t used his real appearance, so the Lv Family Ancestor did not recognize him. Lin Jing chuckled, "Friend, I’ve heard your Lv Family possesses a personal magical artifact bestowed by the first generation Ancient Emperor. Is that true?"
The Lv Family Ancestor’s expression changed. This person had come for the "Life-saving Magical Artifact"?
"What do you intend to do?"
"Borrow the Token for use," Lin Jing replied.
"Impossible!" The Lv Family Ancestor frowned, "I advise you to give up, lest you act irrationally."
"Though the artifact was the First Emperor’s possession during his campaigns, it is merely a ’High-grade Magical Artifact.’ Such a level of artifact holds no usefulness to someone of your strength."
"The significance of this artifact... lies in its symbolic value. A family granted a magical artifact by the First Emperor is under the top level protection of the Ancient Country. Even if such a family commits heinous crimes, their punishment is light."
"Therefore, this artifact is extraordinarily meaningful to my Lv Family. In your hands, it’s merely an ordinary high-grade artifact. Furthermore, if the Ancient Country learns that you’ve stolen the Emperor’s bestowed item, you’ll undoubtedly be hunted by mightier figures of the Ancient Country!"
"An artifact like this could be more troublesome than you imagine."
"Please return. I’ll pretend we’ve never met."
Lin Jing shook his head and said, "Given the Lv Family’s current situation, even with the bestowed artifact in hand, it’s difficult to reclaim your former glory. Why don’t we strike a deal? You give me the artifact, and I’ll grant you a great fortune... giving your Lv Family hope to reclaim the peak."
"But..." The Lv Family Ancestor was about to say ridiculous, but Lin Jing’s next words made his pupils contract.
"I can allow your Lv Family to give birth to ten Divine Body-level descendants. Do you know what ten Divine Bodies mean?" Lin Jing gazed at him deeply.
The Lv Family Ancestor was slightly agape, doubting if he misheard.
Ten Divine Bodies?
Are these the Divine Bodies he knows of?
Divine Bodies, barring any accidents, almost certainly transition into Divinity Transformation.
Lin Jing extended his hand, and a frightening brown ginseng doll appeared in his palm.
"This is a mutant Earth Spirit Ginseng. Those who ingest it will give birth to a descendant with an innate Earth Spirit Body."
"Is there such a thing?!" The Lv Family Ancestor was stunned. However, an innate Earth Spirit Body is far from a Divine Body!
Lin Jing then produced a vial of essence blood.
"This is essence blood of an Earth Attribute Demon Ancestor at mid-stage Void Profound."
As if that weren’t enough, he pulled out a cultivation technique.
"’Earth Divine Canon,’ a Void Profound level Earth Attribute cultivation technique, contains top-grade Foundation Establishment Technique. With the essence blood of the Earth Attribute Demon Ancestor, an innate Earth Spirit Body can be cultivated into an Earth Divine Body."
"The quantity of this essence blood, paired with this cultivation technique, is sufficient to let your Lv Family produce ten postnatal Divine Bodies. I wonder if you want this opportunity!" Lin Jing calmly spoke.
The mutant Earth Spirit Ginseng was synthesized by Lin Jing from Earth Spirit Ginseng through the Pine Leaf Mouse.
The Demon Ancestor’s blood was seized by Lin Jing from the Gu God Sect.
And the ’Earth Divine Canon’ was seized in Heaven-Reaching City.
Lin Jing possessed many such miscellaneous items. Though single items might have limited value, combined, they could produce astonishing results.
Like this current ability to mass-create postnatal Divine Bodies!
Lin Jing casually pushed the mutant Earth Spirit Ginseng, ’Earth Divine Canon,’ and Demon Ancestor’s blood to the Lv Family Ancestor for inspection. The Lv Family Ancestor, upon receiving these items, took a deep breath and quickly surveyed the ’Earth Divine Canon’ and sensed the Demon Ancestor’s blood, realizing Lin Jing’s words were indeed true.
It was undeniably a top-grade Void Profound level cultivation technique and Demon Ancestor’s blood...
"You..." He hadn’t anticipated Lin Jing possessing such rare treasures, puzzled as to why Lin Jing would trade these treasures, tempting even Void Profound Old Monsters, for an ineffectual bestowed magical artifact.
"Trade or not?"
Lin Jing inquired.
"If you don’t trade... I’ll seek other families."
"The Ancient Country contains more than just your Lv Family with bestowed artifacts!"
The Lv Family Ancestor ground his teeth.
His heart waged a fierce battle.
"I... am willing... to trade."
He abruptly made a choice going against his ancestors, breathing heavily, mainly due to the severe temptation of the ten Divine Bodies.
Among these ten Divine Body descendants, should even one cultivate into Void Profound via the ’Earth Divine Canon,’ the Lv Family will ascend once more to their pinnacle, just like Lin Jing said.
"I like dealing with decisive people, saves hassle."
Lin Jing nodded in satisfaction, throwing out a plant.
"This is a mutant Desiccated Immortal. Insert all needles into your acupoints, and you can transform into a Corpse Cultivator. I see your life span is near its end; consider this option. Although your realm will plummet extensively, at least you’ll live longer and witness Lv Family’s progress."
Lin Jing, as if tossing garbage, distributed treasures the Lv Family Ancestor had never seen before.
But these treasures... made the Lv Family Ancestor’s eyelid twitch.
Friend, this isn’t something a regular cultivator can possess.
Subsequently, Lin Jing handed nine more mutant Earth Spirit Ginsengs to the Lv Family Ancestor. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"The function of the bestowed artifact, as you stated, lies in deterrence. Our transaction remains undisclosed to third parties, as long as neither you nor I speak of it. The deterrence of the bestowed artifact remains, still invisibly protecting your Lv Family as long as you refrain from treasonous actions, no issue will arise."
"Thank you... friend," the Lv Family Ancestor bowed lightly. Indeed, this was an unparalleled opportunity.
Though the Earth Divine Body ranks in the lower nineties among ordinary Divine Bodies, if the Lv Family manages to birth ten of them, it’s still exceptionally formidable.
"I ask you, friend, to wait for a while. The bestowed artifact is hidden in an extremely secluded location. Please give me some time, I shall retrieve it for you!"
