Vol 4 Chapter 78: Wanting to Sap Pine's Life

"You all worked hard during this time, so I brought gifts for everyone."

Lin Jing smiled as he looked at the group, then took out a drop of violet blood and tossed it to the Mosquito Woman.

"Demon Emperor’s blood?"

Holding the blood, the Mosquito Woman looked mesmerized, her whole body trembling.

"I used Divine Sense to inspect the Immortal Prison. I’m very satisfied with the number and quality of beasts inside. This is your well-deserved reward."

"What kind of reward is this? Just capturing some beasts no stronger than the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, and she gets Demon Emperor’s blood?"

Beside them, Mo Pine couldn’t help but complain. "The benefits of working under you are insane."

It was even tempted to join the Demon-Hunting Squad.

"The Gu God’s blood, already purified," Lin Jing said with a smile.

Back then, although the Demon Emperor and the others failed to capture the Gu God, they did severely wound it. Among them, the Demon Emperor collected a good amount of the blood that spilled from its wounds, which was then purified and given to Lin Jing. freewebnøvel.com

This blood was excellent for enhancing the Ice Soul Gu. Lin Jing had a whole bottle, so giving one drop to the Mosquito Woman was nothing.

"Senior Huan Li, this is..."

"A Grotesque Bug corpse?!" The Thousand Illusions Mountain Grand Elder’s eyes lit up as she recognized the small insect Lin Jing had thrown out.

"Mm, one of the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea Mountains. It’s said these bugs can manifest illusions so bizarre and indistinguishable they can even illusion-kill Nascent Soul cultivators."

"While clearing out the Gu God Sect, I found that they had successfully refined this kind of deadly insect and named it the Illusion-Kill Gu. But like all Rare Gu, Illusion Gu are extremely hard to control—only an Illusionary Path master can tame them."

"This here is also the Illusion Gu refinement method from the Gu God Sect. A token of thanks for guarding the Immortal Prison, Senior."

Huan Li happily accepted it and said with a grin, "Your Highness the Holy Son is too kind. I don’t dare call myself senior anymore. I’m just the one watching the mountain gate for His Highness now. You really don’t need to be polite."

"I love this gift."

"I’ll pass," Gu Qianqiu said when she saw Lin Jing looking her way, clearly meaning to give her something too. She shook her head.

"I didn’t do anything—just cultivated."

"Alright then," Lin Jing said.

Gu Qianqiu: …

Skipping her, Lin Jing turned to the eager Mo Pine. As an elder, it shouldn’t be so expectant about a junior’s gift—but Lin Jing, that brat, really did have some good stuff.

That battle in Tongtian City might not have seemed like much—

At best, he blew up some Void Mystical cultivators’ resources.

But if Lin Jing truly wiped out the Gu God Sect, now that was something.

That sect had a ten-thousand-year legacy, on the same level as the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom. One could imagine how many treasures it had stashed.

"What the h*ll is this?"

Seeing Lin Jing pull out a separate storage pouch and toss it over, Mo Pine’s face darkened.

"Don’t tell me this sht is literally sht?!"

Lin Jing quickly clarified, "Not just any sh*t. According to the Gu God Sect’s records, this is the excrement of an ancient Celestial Beast—Celestial Dung."

"You’re saying this is still sh*t?!" Mo Pine cursed.

"It’s different. The Gu God Sect used this as fertilizer, and it works incredibly well for cultivating spiritual plants. They even used it to raise near-Immortal-Grade poisonous plants."

Next to them, Gu Qianqiu felt relieved she hadn’t accepted any gift.

But in the next second, Lin Jing suddenly said, "Actually, I did prepare something for you too. Congrats on reaching Nascent Soul Stage. Your gift might take a little longer to deliver, though."

"This pouch of Celestial Beast remains with Senior Pine is the key."

"In the Western Desert, I also snatched a Bodhi Tree from Bodhi Temple. Next, I plan to work with Senior Pine to figure out how to propagate more Bodhi Trees."

"If we succeed, you can use the Bodhi Tree as material to refine an External Incarnation. The flaw of the Longevity Physique is that cultivating techniques and spells is too slow. But with an External Incarnation made from Bodhi Tree, that can be fixed!"

"As for an incarnation meant for understanding natural forces—no need. The Demon Court has many places ideal for that kind of enlightenment. They’ll make arrangements for you."

Gu Qianqiu was speechless. She had thought she dodged a bullet—and now she had to refine an External Incarnation using a tree grown from Celestial Beast dung? Help...

"What the h*ll," Mo Pine muttered. So it had to work again?

Still, after closely sensing the Celestial Beast remains, Mo Pine fell silent. It could tell—this stuff really did help spiritual plants grow.

Apparently, it came from a wood-attribute Celestial Beast that had consumed immortal plants.

At the Celestial Beast level, excretion was almost unheard of. So if it did excrete, that meant it had eaten something even its celestial body couldn’t fully digest.

...

A while later, only Lin Jing and Senior Pine were left.

Though the pouch of Celestial Beast remains was indeed valuable, Mo Pine still felt a bit salty.

"After all the effort I put into advancing your ‘Everlasting Emperor’s Longevity Art’ to the next layer, this is how you repay me?!"

"You succeeded, Senior?!" Lin Jing was surprised—and delighted. He had thought the Pine Leaf Mouse would have to use Insight Fish Soup to push through, but now that Senior Pine had done it, that saved them a lot of trouble.

"You shouldn’t judge by appearance, Senior. This Celestial Beast relic really is the rarest, most suitable thing I found for you among the Gu God Sect’s treasures. When I swing by the Ancient Kingdom’s treasury later, I’ll definitely bring back something even better for you."

"Fine! Seeing as you’re being so filial, I’ll let it slide that you gave me crap."

Putting the image of the gift aside, Mo Pine did understand it was genuinely good stuff.

"Right, I had one more favor to ask, Senior."

"I know, you want help propagating the Bodhi Tree, right?" Mo Pine said. "Rumor has it only the Buddhist Sect knows how to do that—but that’s just because the plant-spirit races have fallen into decline."

"But with my Void Mystical Stage cultivation, plus this Celestial Beast dung, I should be able to grow a whole Bodhi forest for you."

"That’s not the favor." Lin Jing rubbed his hands together.

"You see, the Pine Leaf Mouse is about to reach Nascent Soul Stage too. That means it’s time to refine an External Incarnation."

"I do have some good materials for it—but none of them really match it perfectly."

"Sometimes, grade isn’t the key—compatibility is everything..."

"So I was wondering... as the strongest plant-based lifeform on the Tianyuan Continent and the Pine Leaf Mouse’s master, do you have anything you’d like to pass on to it???"

That’s right.

The material Lin Jing had in mind for the Pine Leaf Mouse’s External Incarnation—was Mo Pine himself.

Only, Mo Pine had just found out.

"Whatever conditions you want, I’ll try to fulfill them. Look, want me to give you a sip of Longevity Blood first to taste?"

"Get lost!!!"

From within Immortal Prison Mountain came Mo Pine’s furious roar:

"D*mn it! I knew it—back when you were in Foundation Establishment, you were already eyeing me. Now that it’s time to refine an External Incarnation, you’re still not gonna let me go!!"
