Although Lin Jing found it difficult to leave this place, it didn’t an he couldn’t seek out other opportunities!
He just needed to send a pet beast over.
With the strength of the Pine Squirrel, Lin Jing was not worried about it suffering any losses.
Moreover, releasing the Pine Squirrel wouldn’t greatly affect him. Given Lin Jing’s current cultivation at the dual Qi Cultivation level of eleven layers with the Ice Soul Gu, plus a swarm of mosquito beasts and the Dragon Palace crowd, he had few opponents.
As Lin Jing patted the gourd hanging at his waist, a beam of red light shot out, and a Squirrel Spirit flying on a leaf imdiately drew everyone’s attention.
"This is..." Everyone looked at the Pine Squirrel, whose appearance greatly changed after its bloodline evolution.
The most striking feature was the broad, maple leaf-like tail behind it.
It was clearly not made of flesh, but of plants!
In addition, those red leaf-like ears further confird that this squirrel was unusual, very unusual.
"Is that still the sa squirrel?"
The Pine Squirrel saw so many people gazing at it, took out a white dao robe from its storage bag, and draped it over itself, instantly covering up the previously eerie feeling with an aura of immortal elegance.
"Foundation Establishnt Stage!" Three-Pupiled Liu Yu was slightly stunned. It turned out Lin Jing had already broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage. As a Beast Taming Cultivator, a pet beast reaching Foundation Establishnt was no different from the Beast Master doing so.
But he just heard sothing?
Lin Jing actually intended to send this one pet beast alone to vie for opportunities?
Observing the drastic change in the Pine Squirrel’s appearance, Liu Yu could guess that its bloodline must have received a significant upgrade. Yet, the thought of a Squirrel Spirit going alone to compete with a group of geniuses for opportunities still made him want to laugh.
Was Lin Jing being a bit too naive?
"Squeak..." The Pine Squirrel, with a calm expression, took off on its leaf upon receiving the command, soon flashing past the few mbers of the Alliance.
"Isn’t he afraid of the pet beast dying in battle?"
Liu Yu was puzzled, but the group still followed. They weren’t interested in the Dragon Blood opportunity here and chose instead to hunt elsewhere.
...
After the Pine Squirrel left, Wang Xiao worked hard to calm the King Blood War Tiger. Among all, only this fellow beast, the King Blood War Tiger, vaguely sensed the terrifying nature of the Pine Squirrel’s bloodline, causing it to growl uneasily.
Other demon beasts without King Blood could only sense as much as an epheral mayfly looking at the sky, completely unable to perceive the terrifying bloodline of the Pine Squirrel.
"What are you really..." Wang Xiao was once again shocked. He originally thought Lin Jing just coincidentally tad the mosquito beast, but now he was completely sure it was no coincidence. During this ti, although he had also cultivated a powerful battle pet, Lin Jing’s Pine Squirrel was cultivated to be even more mysterious and unpredictable.
"You’re just sending that squirrel, is that okay?" Outside the Dragon Transformation Blood Pool, Wang Xiao asked, "You’re really not going to follow?"
"No need." Lin Jing closed his eyes again, continuing to sit cross-legged in mid-air to cultivate. Seeing this, Wang Xiao bit his lip and also rode the War Tiger to pursue Liu Yu and the others.
...
"This Squirrel Spirit..." anwhile, above the mist, the gentlen were also observing the Pine Squirrel.
"Could it have taken the Treant Pill to modify its bloodline?" The academy gentlen, far more knowledgeable than ordinary students, quickly figured out the state of the Pine Squirrel.
"Seems like an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishnt, its bloodline just a regular Squirrel Spirit... like Lin Jing, it’s likely hiding its strength, too. Wang Xiao’s War Tiger seems very afraid of it." The gentlen guessed correctly; both the Pine Squirrel and Lin Jing’s technique to hide their strength originated from the Divine Pine.
It’s an advanced application of the "Divine Wood Seal," achieving the effect of concealing cultivation and bloodline by falsely sealing one’s power. Unless broken by a higher-level divine sense, it’s hard to detect.
The academy gentlen naturally didn’t need to hastily conduct excessive probing, which would be impolite.
"Looks like their target is that..." Cao Zhiwei spoke with a faint smile, and the other gentlen also smiled, looking as if they were expecting a good show.
Currently, a significant portion of academy geniuses were gathered at a mountain peak. The peak was peculiar in that the surrounding area was normal, but this mountain was constantly shrouded in heavy rain.
The rain was colorless and appeared no different from regular rain as it fell to the ground.
This rain mostly originated from a towering plant within the mountain. Its leaves were broad and lush green, its flower clusters fresh and elegant, towering over ordinary ancient trees, with silver markings spreading across its body. It constantly absorbed moisture and expelled rainwater.
"No way." One genius sent out his divine sense, imdiately feeling as if his head was plunged into magma, face red-hot, senses disoriented.
Another genius ventured out with a "chariot," riding a weather-resistant flying boat to try passing through the rain screen, but midway, the flying boat lost its mana support and plumted from the sky.
Regardless of protective true essence, protective magical treasures, five-elent escape techniques, the geniuses exhausted their ans but failed to break through the rain screen, making themselves very embarrassed in the process.
"It should be a fourth-grade vicious plant, ’Falling Rain Guanyin,’ a dangerous object in the Mist Forest." Divine Talisman Sect’s Chen Lingxi shook her head, her talismans being restrained by this rainwater, unable to break through.
"The rain from the Falling Rain Guanyin can corrode mana, affecting even Core Formation Cultivators..." Under normal circumstances, the dozens of geniuses gathered here wouldn’t want to confront such a vicious plant. However, anyone could see the astonishing treasure light emanating from the mountain.
Within the mountain, there must be a supre treasure!
"Even Tang Yun can’t break through?" Everyone looked towards a white-haired youth, Tang Yun, ranked sixty-sixth on the Genius List, possessing an innate Mist Body, a variant of the Water Spirit Body, capable of refining mist into various powerful artifacts and cloud beasts.
Now he was sitting on a mass of white cloud, atop which a spear ford from black storm clouds flickered with lightning.
"This rain can even corrode my clouds. Without a Golden Core, it’s difficult to pass. However, the Falling Rain Guanyin relies heavily on its surrounding environnt to survive. Once the nearby moisture is depleted, there will be a direct way through." The white-haired youth spoke calmly.
"The most efficient way to quickly find out what the treasure is... is for everyone to work together, continuously casting fire thods around to remove the moisture."
"Relying on a single person, don’t even think about breaking through."
Just as he finished speaking, a red flash streaked past everyone’s eyes as a strange squirrel riding a red leaf blended into their midst, eager eyes fixed on the astonishing treasure light within the rain screen.
"This is...!" The appearance of the Pine Squirrel caught everyone off guard, only a few people, like Divine Talisman Sect’s Chen Lingxi, saw a familiar reflection in the evolved Pine Squirrel.
"Could it also be one of those rare exotic beasts brought back by an academy gentleman from abroad?" A genius was eager to try, this squirrel looked delicious, suitable for a stir-fry dish, offering both at and vegetable.
"How could that be, since when do wild spirit beasts wear dao robes?!"
Boom!
Before any further reaction, the flying Pine Squirrel carved a rainless path where it focused its gaze, startling everyone as it soared in.
Others, reacting too late, started to follow, but the rain poured back down once more.
"Relying on a single person, don’t even think about breaking through...but it’s not a person." Tang Yun added, "This dao-robed Squirrel Spirit... surely has a thod to counter the vicious plant!"
