Beast Tamer Ascension

Chapter 2: The Black Bear Monster@@novelbin@@

Hey... is it really necessary?!

Looking at the monster that came in, Lin Jing was speechless.

It wasn’t the righteous immortal who had come to attack the Yin Corpse Sect stronghold, but rather... a monster attracted by his physique?

A black bear that was a foundational cultivator of the demonic sect...

To be honest, if given the choice, he didn’t really want to engage in a long-term partnership with a demon beast.

Even if the other party was reasonable and consented, it would still hurt him.

Just escaping from a wolf’s den to fall into a bear’s mouth, Lin Jing felt very tired.

Sensing the foul smell coming from the black bear's mouth, Lin Jing sorted out his thoughts and was about to introduce the proper way to eat him.

"Great King, please hear me out..." Lin Jing spoke, needing to appeal to emotion and reason.

But the next second, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts, leaving him in a somewhat complicated mood.

"Elder Black Bear."

The previously encountered Yuan Yang physique had somehow walked out of the collapsed prison cell, brushing off the dust from his body, and respectfully clasped his fists towards the black bear monster. "He’s just a mortal; please don’t scare him. What if he dies?"

"Ah?" The black bear monster stretched out its palm to wipe its drool, its eyes turning to the Yuan Yang physique. "You’ve done a great job this time."

"I’ve already dealt with the demonic sect cultivators in this Yin Corpse Sect stronghold..."

"Next, we’ll leave it to the Demon Extermination Division to handle. However, this guy..." The black bear monster licked its lips, looking at Lin Jing.

"I know." The Yuan Yang physique laughed heartily.

Saying this, he looked kindly at Lin Jing.

At this moment, Lin Jing could only remain silent.

This is...

The Yuan Yang physique smiled at Lin Jing. "Brother, I know you have many questions in your heart, and I’m here to answer them for you."

"I am Ouyang Hao, an inner disciple of the Beast Master Sect. For the sake of the sect’s mission, I deliberately disguised myself as prey to infiltrate the Yin Corpse Sect stronghold and provide intelligence for the sect."

"It was originally a long-term mission to catch bigger fish, but I couldn’t bear to see you fall into the jaws of a monster, so I contacted the sect early to set up a net."

"Now, this Yin Corpse Sect stronghold has been destroyed, so you don’t have to worry about your safety anymore."

Lin Jing looked up.

He looked at the other person.

Then he glanced at the black bear monster, which had somehow pulled out a Daoist robe and draped it over itself.

On the back of the robe, there were three large characters that appeared to read "Beast Master Sect."

An undercover agent?

"Of course, our meeting is fated. You must have entered the Yin Corpse Sect in search of immortality, so I wonder if you would be interested in returning with me to the Beast Master Sect and become a disciple of the Beast Master Sect, cultivating beasts and seeking immortality?" Ouyang Hao invited.

"Beast Master Sect?" Lin Jing knew...

His life was not meant to end here!

"Yes, the Beast Master Sect!" Ouyang Hao seemed to see through Lin Jing’s caution and said solemnly, "You can rest assured that the Beast Master Sect is a legitimate sect, recognized as a righteous path in the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom."

Lin Jing nodded, but he still felt that the black bear monster’s drool didn’t seem to be fake.

Moreover, "Beast Master Sect" sounded like a place that raised many demon beasts.

Since his Longevity Body was a great supplement to demon beasts, then entering such a sect would surely bring trouble.

Lin Jing expressed his skepticism.

At this time, the Daoist robe-clad black bear monster turned its head and said, "Kid, do you still want to cultivate? If so, joining the Beast Master Sect is your best option."

"Although the Longevity Body has a long lifespan, its cultivation speed is extraordinarily slow, and there are no divine abilities to enhance it, making its combat power quite ordinary. According to normal cultivation methods, even with abundant resources, it would take a long time to successfully establish a foundation."

"This physique gradually becomes extinct; in addition to being hunted by the demon clan, the difficulty of cultivation is also a factor."

"Therefore, even if a Longevity Body is discovered, most sects can’t afford to nurture it due to its overly harsh cultivation conditions!"

"However, the Beast Master Sect is different. The methods practiced there involve cultivators forming contracts with spiritual beasts and demon beasts, primarily assisted by pet beasts in combat. While cultivating the pet beasts, the cultivation results of the pets will also partially reflect back on the cultivators."

"So, for cultivators whose cultivation speed is too slow due to innate talent and physique, choosing the path of beast cultivation in the Beast Master Sect is the best option."

"The Beast Path is more suitable for your Longevity Body than any other cultivation methods, such as law cultivators, sword cultivators, or body cultivators!"

"What do you think?" Elder Black Bear stared at Lin Jing, laying out the pros and cons.

"I see." Lin Jing understood.

No wonder Brother Lu gave up his task to save him first.

Hearing this, the Longevity Body cultivation physique indeed matched well with the cultivation methods of the Beast Master Sect.

Relying on his long lifespan... he could cultivate one pet after another, quietly increasing his cultivation in the background; that didn’t sound too bad.

"Predecessors... I am willing to join the Beast Master Sect." Lin Jing immediately said. For now, he didn’t care if the Beast Master Sect was reliable; he had no other options.

He certainly couldn't continue being an ordinary person.

After experiencing being sold to the Yin Corpse Sect, Lin Jing didn’t want to wander around outside anymore.

The hearts of people are treacherous.

The hearts of beasts are treacherous.

Having a Longevity Body was like being a walking Tang Seng meat; it was too dangerous.

Moreover... his current life was saved by them.

A drop of water of kindness should be rewarded with a fountain of grace; how could he forget a life-saving grace?

He wanted to enter the sect... to seek an opportunity for repayment!

"Good, good, good." Upon receiving Lin Jing’s answer, Ouyang Hao smiled again. "Then from now on, you can call me Brother Ouyang. Let’s return to the sect!"

Finding a special physique for the sect was worth far more than the rewards of this mission.

Ouyang Hao looked at Lin Jing as if he were a brilliant spirit stone, incredibly pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, Brother Ouyang... Oh! By the way!" Lin Jing suddenly remembered something and said, "What about the Daoist temple that tricked me here?"

Recalling that old Daoist riding a cow, Lin Jing felt particularly resentful.

The grudge of being trafficked was one that couldn't be shared; if it weren't for meeting the undercover agent, he would have almost met his end! He remembered this grudge, as well as the Yin Corpse Sect... he wouldn't forget!

Gratitude should be remembered, and so should grudges. Once he became a powerful cultivator, he would ensure that this trafficking organization was wiped out.

"You don’t need to worry about that. The Demon Extermination Division will take care of it." The black bear monster spoke while observing the surroundings. "This place isn’t safe for long. We don’t know if the demon cultivators in this stronghold have passed on your Longevity Body information to higher-level Yin Corpse Sect cultivators. For safety’s sake, let’s return to the sect first."

"My master, Elder Mo Wuyah of the Beast Master Sect, has been waiting for you. He is responsible for identifying special disciples, and it was he who discovered Ouyang Hao and brought him into the sect. Both of you are talented with special physiques, and once you enter the sect, your treatment will be better than that of ordinary disciples!"

Lin Jing nodded, but with his Longevity Body, he felt that danger would not be scarce after stepping into the world of cultivation.

Based on his character, should he raise a monkey to protect himself...?
