Beast Tamer Ascension

Vol 2 Chapter 35: Myriad Beast Circle

“You wretched thing!!!”

Ziling’er flew out of the mountain crevice, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, glaring angrily at the Dan Rabbit.

“I asked you to attack me to test your strength, not to kill me!”

“Master, I didn’t mean to…” The muscular rabbit hid behind a rock, looking innocent and scared of Ziling’er’s retaliation.

Ziling’er was furious. She quickly descended in front of her cave and scolded the Dan Rabbit, “Go inside and reflect on your actions! Don’t come out unless I allow it!”

The Dan Rabbit pouted and hopped straight into the cave.

The others watched Ziling’er’s disheveled appearance, suppressing their laughter but unable to hide their amusement.

It seemed this Dan Rabbit wasn’t all that submissive toward Ziling’er.

The genius Violet Flame Alchemist turned to Lin Jing and said, “This Rising Dragon Pill can indeed change bloodlines—it’s already transformed into a Dragon-Blooded Spirit Beast… But Dan Rabbits are usually gentle and obedient. What’s going on here?”

Lin Jing chuckled and explained, “Dan Rabbits are indeed very docile, but now it has become a Dragon-Blooded Dan Rabbit. Dragons are inherently proud and self-assured. Considering how you’ve likely pushed it hard during your experiments, it’s not surprising that now, with its newfound strength, it wants to let off some steam.”

“I can see that this Dan Rabbit is still quite loyal to you, Miss Ziling. If you treat it better in the future, it’ll naturally become even more obedient.”

“I’ll join the Dragon Palace,” Ziling’er finally said with a pout. She was clearly captivated by the effects of the Rising Dragon Pill—or perhaps by the Beast Taming profession itself.

Whenever a cultivation technique or profession demonstrated immense power, it inevitably garnered admiration. It was human nature. History had no shortage of examples where powerful cultivators ignited new cultivation trends.

As an alchemist, Ziling’er’s own combat strength was relatively weak. Having a strong pet beast wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

“I recall that the Dan Pill Manual from the Dan Ding Sect mentions a type of pill that can make demonic beasts docile and tame, even purifying their wild nature,” Ziling’er mused to herself, deciding to leverage her alchemy skills to better control the Dragon-Blooded Dan Rabbit.

As for how the Dragon Palace handled pet beasts, Lin Jing didn’t care. These geniuses weren’t disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, so he didn’t plan to impose his sect’s rules on them.

“Welcome aboard,” Lin Jing said, clapping his hands. “Miss Ziling, I’m sure you’ll be glad you made this choice.”

Ziling’er gave Lin Jing a curious look, still puzzled about the origin of the Rising Dragon Pill. Was it his creation? That didn’t seem likely. Was it a secret formula from the Beast Taming Sect? ŔἈꞐÖВÈṨ

Even if it was, the fact that Lin Jing and the Dragon Carp could refine it was absurd. Refining a third-tier pill at the Qi Refinement Stage was already challenging. If she, a prodigy of the Dan Ding Sect, could do it, it would be expected. But Lin Jing? He wasn’t just a Beast Tamer; he was also proficient in Mechanized Arts and alchemy?!

“The effects are indeed remarkable,” Ziling’er admitted, finally recognizing the Rising Dragon Pill. Hearing this, Yuan Jing felt reassured.

“Although raising a Dragon Beast is costly, it’s a worthwhile investment for the future,” Yuan Jing thought to himself.

In the Heavenly Sword Gate, there were two ways to cultivate a Sword Spirit. The first was for exceptionally talented swordsmen to nurture their swords with their hearts, allowing the sword to develop its own spirit—a rarity. The second method was to seal a beast’s soul within the sword and use a special secret art to transform it into a Sword Spirit. However, this method was also fraught with challenges.

If a genius sword cultivator were to raise a pet beast, their ultimate goal would undoubtedly be to merge the beast entirely with their sword.

“I’ll join as well,” Yuan Jing said, deciding that using a Dragon Beast as his Sword Spirit would not disappoint.

“You’re joining too? Good. Take some time to gather Spirit Stones and go buy a demonic beast!”

At this point, many of the new students began to waver. Most of them came from well-off backgrounds and could afford third-tier pills.

“Once you’re ready, come find me at my cave,” Lin Jing said with a welcoming smile, not turning anyone away.

He was genuinely curious to see how the academy would evolve if he slowly turned it into a “Beast Taming Sect.”

Soon, whether they planned to join the “Dragon Palace” or not, all the new students dispersed—except for Gao Sheng and Xu Zhizhi.

…

When Lin Jing returned to his cave, Gao Sheng and Xu Zhizhi were still tailing him closely.

Gao Sheng grinned and asked, “How many Rising Dragon Pills do you have left? If my Dragon Horse takes one, what effect will it have? Could it possibly achieve a King-Tier Bloodline?”

Lin Jing rolled his eyes. “You’re dreaming. While the Rising Dragon Pill can enhance dragon blood purity, achieving King-Tier Bloodline isn’t that easy. Your Dragon Horse’s bloodline isn’t bad. If it consumes multiple Rising Dragon Pills and you invest a significant amount of Hidden Dragon Fortune to cultivate it, then it might be possible.”

“I can buy the Rising Dragon Pills, but Hidden Fortune is hard to come by…” Gao Sheng sighed bitterly.

“Ahem, Brother Gao, I’ve got a few plans to make a name for myself, but I’m short on startup funds. Would you be interested in investing?” Xu Zhizhi said ingratiatingly after cursing “rich bastards” under his breath.

“Let’s hear it,” Gao Sheng replied.

“You two can discuss this later,” Lin Jing interrupted, tossing two Rising Dragon Pills to them. “Consider these a gift. However, refining the Rising Dragon Pills isn’t easy, and the cost is high. If you want more, you’ll have to trade for something of equal value like Ziling’er.”

The Dragon Blood used to refine the pills came from Lin Jing’s own pocket, purchased from the Lotus Pavilion.

“Brother Xu, help me spread the word about today’s events. Consider this pill a thank-you gift.”

“Of course!!!” Xu Zhizhi’s eyes lit up as he accepted the pill. “Don’t worry! I’ll make sure everyone in the Ancient Domain knows that even a Heavenly God Physique is no match for your Dragon Pets. I’ll ensure the entire Ancient Domain becomes curious about your Rising Dragon Pills!”

He pocketed the pill, already planning to buy a Lynx Demon for cultivation. The fur of Lynx Demons was essential for making brushes, and Xu Zhizhi was curious about the effects of using Dragon-Blooded Lynx fur for creating brushes. How much would it enhance literary techniques?

“I won’t take advantage of you either,” Gao Sheng said, taking out a circular artifact and handing it to Lin Jing.

“This is the Myriad Beast Circle, a treasure refined by the Myriad Beast Sect in Qingzhou. It’s similar to the Beast Taming Sect’s artifacts and can also store living creatures and capture demonic beasts. However, any beast subdued by the Myriad Beast Circle will have its intelligence erased, turning it into a puppet that only follows orders.”

Beyond the Ancient Kingdom, in Qingzhou, there was the Myriad Beast Sect—a faction similar to the early Beast Taming Sect.

But unlike the Beast Taming Sect, the Myriad Beast Sect had always enslaved demonic beasts. They erased the intelligence of the beasts they captured instead of nurturing them. Once a beast died in battle, they simply replaced it with another, endlessly cycling through them.

The sect earned its name from this approach.

If the Beast Taming Sect disciples cultivated elite pet beasts, then the Myriad Beast Sect cultivators employed a swarm strategy—subjugating vast numbers of low-level demonic beasts, erasing their intelligence, and unleashing beast tides to overwhelm enemies.
