Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 520 - 91: A Fortunate Fluke

"It’s actually an improved version of the Beast Taming Technique. Well done! The Beast Taming Technique is a classic cultivation technique of our Immortal Palace. To innovate on it truly shows the talent of our Immortal Palace. Dedication to improving the techniques of the Immortal Palace is the greatest sincerity a disciple can show."

As the mechanical voice finished speaking, the four people were dumbfounded, even Lin Jing himself. An improved Beast Taming Technique was certainly good, but its value shouldn’t surpass "Nine Dances of the Immortal Qin", right? He had just casually thrown it in to make up the numbers, yet it received such high praise?

"Is this really happening? I’ve also improved some Immortal Palace techniques."

The Celestial Cry Palace Master couldn’t sit still and tossed in a few improved Immortal Palace techniques of his own.

Mechanical Voice: "What a mess you’ve made, daring to defile the classics of the Immortal Palace! Revising is not the same as randomly altering!"

The Celestial Cry Palace Master was stunned. How could this be considered random alteration?

The changes were optimizations based on the original versions, making them more suitable for ordinary cultivators to practice!

"What’s going on here?" Even the Demon Emperor was puzzled, but only Lin Jing had an inkling of what was happening.

[This mechanism is completely ignoring the other things I gifted.]

[Those items are all top-quality materials, so rare that even the Immortal Realm might not have them. Yet, not a word is mentioned about them?]

[This Secret Realm’s mechanical spirit probably, besides following its programmed procedures, has its own consciousness. It knows that the Secret Realm has lost connection with the Immortal Realm.]

[Even an Immortal Monarch level technique didn’t elicit much of a reaction because it can’t cultivate it, nor can it be submitted, so naturally, its response was lukewarm.]

[However, the materials I offered were all premium mechanical materials. By not mentioning them, it seems like it plans to keep them for itself.]

[Those items I offered inadvertently satisfied the mechanical spirit’s preferences, which is why it exaggerated the value of the improved Beast Taming Technique... ]

Is that possible?

After Lin Jing finished analyzing, the Demon Emperor fell silent. Neither had realized before that the most important entity to please with their gifts was the Secret Realm’s spirit!

The long separation from its master had led the Secret Realm’s mechanical spirit to start taking personal interests.

"What a relief!"

But fortunately, in the past few years, Lin Jing had been improving the Mechanical Turtle, having the Pine Leaf Mouse synthesize many mechanical materials. The surplus materials he just threw in seemed to hit the mechanical spirit’s sweet spot.

Lin Jing let out a sigh of relief; he did have a bit of luck on his side.

[I have said it: magic cannot be transmitted lightly, but since you have shown your sincerity, I will teach you some magic according to your sincerity. It will also test your aptitude and understanding to see if you can master the magic within the given time. If you cannot, then you have no fate with the path of immortality.]

With a rumble.

Inside the grand hall, four independent pavilions appeared, each containing a statue of a cultivator.

[You go to the eastern one, this is Immortal Fruit Heart, proficient in the Way of Farming. You can comprehend his divine techniques from the statue.]

The Alliance Envoy was directed to the eastern pavilion. Hearing this, the sword cultivator grinned; this must be some kind of shady plot, sending a sword cultivator to comprehend farming divine techniques—after understanding them, is he supposed to slice fruits?

Just now, the Secret Realm had found his gifts lacking, and the retaliation came so swiftly?

"The Secret Realm of the Immortal Palace is truly biased."

The Demon Emperor was sent to the southern pavilion.

[This is True Master Miao Dao, a leopard who became immortal, renowned for speed and movement techniques unmatched among the True Immortals of the Immortal Palace. You can comprehend his divine techniques from the statue.]

"Thank you." The Demon Emperor lit up hearing this. Her speed was rather average; her treasure beast divine technique was purely high-destructive-power magic. If she could comprehend True Master Miao Dao’s divine techniques, then her contribution of techniques wouldn’t have been in vain. There should be additional tests after all; this Secret Realm... indeed treats people differently based on their gifts.

The Celestial Cry Palace Master was directed to the western pavilion.

[This is the Immortal Palace Divine Guard, a guard of the Immortal Palace. You can comprehend his divine techniques from the statue.]

Celestial Cry Palace Master: ?

What on earth, I, the Palace Master of the Lower Immortal Palace, am only worthy of comprehending the divine techniques of an upper Immortal Palace guard?!

"Is there no justice?" He realized there was definitely something malfunctioning with the Secret Realm spirit without the supervision of the higher Immortals. This test for ascension was far too unfair.

However, he could only bottle up these thoughts for now and dared not express them.

Since the gifts were given, even the divine techniques of a guard should be comprehended. Otherwise, it would be a loss.

Lin Jing seemed to receive the most preferential treatment.

[This is the Supervisor of the Immortal Palace’s Royal Horse Office, proficient in the Beast Taming Technique. You can comprehend his divine techniques from the statue.]

Immortal Palace’s Royal Horse Office Supervisor!

Proficient in the Beast Taming Technique!

Lin Jing had previously heard Elder Shen Song say that the Beast Taming Technique was merely a technique cultivated by the miscellany who raised spiritual beasts in the Immortal Palace.

But now it seemed that was not entirely the case; perhaps the majority who practiced the Beast Taming Technique were indeed miscellany,

but the role of raising spiritual beasts must also have a supervisory figure, who very likely also practiced the Beast Taming Technique.

And it evidently differed greatly from the same technique practiced by the miscellany.

"Thank you."

He began to appreciate the greedy spirit of the Secret Realm that embezzled the mechanical materials, thinking it was all right for it to accept gifts as long as it got things done!

As long as things were accomplished, Lin Jing felt content about the gifts he had given.

Knowing how effective this Secret Realm spirit could be, he wished he had offered even more.

"The second test, a test of understanding, is it?"

Lin Jing was not very confident about his understanding. Although it might be normal or even quite good, his Longevity Body slowed down his comprehension of magic compared to ordinary cultivators.

However, it seemed this trial did not prohibit external assistance.

Even if the rules didn’t allow it, Lin Jing had already given so many gifts to the Secret Realm spirit—what’s wrong with a little cheating?

Even if he couldn’t proceed with the further trials, comprehending divine techniques from the Immortal Palace’s Royal Horse Office Supervisor meant it was not a wasted trip.

After entering the independent pavilion, Lin Jing looked at the middle-aged cultivator holding an immortal horse, and soon his spirit was drawn to another world, as if watching the supervisor perform divine techniques right there.

"The divine technique is called, Great Summoning Spell."

The middle-aged cultivator stood in an open area, saying: "A good horse is hard to come by, extremely difficult to breed and nurture. But in the vast Immortal Realm, there are countless good horses. So as long as we use the Great Summoning Spell to forcibly summon excellent horses nurtured by other sects to mate with our Immortal Palace’s breeds, we can obtain more good horses."

"This divine technique can summon high-potential immortal beasts within a certain range through a sacrificial method. Once summoned, whether to kill, skin, mate, or tame them, is all up to us Beast Masters!"

"As for the lower realm, it’s even more effective. If used properly, summoning top demon beasts from other cultivation realms to our side is entirely possible. You better watch closely!"
