Beast Tamer Ascension

Book 3: Chapter 80: Three Wishes

Vol 3 Chapter 80: Three Wishes

"Your Majesty..." Lin Jing's heart trembled slightly. Three wishes? Then he wouldn’t hold back.

"Your Majesty, as someone with a Longevity Body, I hope to receive your protection and grow smoothly."

In truth, whether he mentioned it or not, Lin Jing understood that with his current value, the Demon Court would inevitably protect him.

However, he still chose to use up a wish to secure a direct promise from the Demon Emperor.

"As the Holy Son of the Demon Court, I will naturally ensure your growth. Additionally, I will assist you once more—eliminating potential enemies and shaking the world."

"Have you ever heard of the Alchemy Conference?"

"The Tongtian Tower Alchemy Conference?" Lin Jing raised an eyebrow. "Of course, I've heard of it."

"It is the greatest event in Qingzhou. Every power in Qingzhou, and even those beyond, pay attention to it."

"Once you have successfully developed the Transformation Pill, you will attend the Tongtian Tower Alchemy Conference in person."

"At that moment, many forces will take interest in you. I will take action then—eliminating any enemy that comes for you. All battle spoils from this event will belong to you."

"Finally, during the conference, you will publicly declare to all demon beast races that you have discovered the method of transformation."

"From that day forward, you will no longer need to walk the cultivation world in disguise. As the Holy Son of my Demon Court, you will walk in the open—no one will be able to ignore your existence."

"This..." Lin Jing was moved. It seemed that the Demon Emperor’s ambitions were not small. With the revelation of the demon race’s path to revival, she clearly intended to expand the Demon Court’s influence further, attracting more demon beast races into its fold.

Allowing him to showcase the transformation method at the Alchemy Conference served two purposes:

First, it was equivalent to announcing to the world that the demon race had begun its resurgence. The Alchemy Conference as a stage was far more convincing than the Demon Court making the proclamation itself.

Second, the emergence of his Longevity Body would surely attract many powerful figures. At that time, the Demon Emperor could use this as an opportunity to display the strength of the Demon Court—perhaps even making a move against demonic sects like the Yin Corpse Sect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lin Jing said. "However... I originally planned to attend the Alchemy Conference to obtain the Tongtian Tower’s collection—specifically, the exotic flame known as Candle Age Fire. If I participate using the Transformation Pill, it might not be so easy to get the Candle Age Fire anymore..."

"So my second wish is to obtain this time-attribute top-tier exotic flame, Candle Age Fire."

Although he now had the Demon Court’s protection, Lin Jing understood that his own strength was his greatest safeguard.

The Heavenly Demon Physique—he had to master it.

He didn’t have the same natural talent as Gu Qianqiu, so if he wanted to achieve the Heavenly Demon Physique, he absolutely needed Candle Age Fire to assist him.

Even though he wasn’t entirely confident that obtaining Candle Age Fire would guarantee his success in cultivating the Heavenly Demon Physique, he couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.

"Granted." The Demon Emperor agreed without hesitation.

"As for my third wish, may I keep it in reserve and use it later?"

Initially, Lin Jing had considered asking the Demon Emperor to help him seize a Rare Gu from the Gu God Sect. However, since she had already promised to assist him once—sweeping away strong enemies from the Yin Corpse Sect and the Gu God Sect, with all the spoils belonging to him—he decided to hold off on that request.

If he could lure out someone within the Gu God Sect who possessed a Rare Gu, he might still be able to obtain it through battle, making it unnecessary to waste a wish.

At present, Lin Jing had no particularly urgent requests. If he could save this wish for a critical moment in the future, its value might be even greater.

"As you wish." The Demon Emperor did not refuse. Then, after taking the synthesized Transformation Grass from Lin Jing, she disappeared from the area.

—

Meanwhile, within the Demon Court’s domain, in a pure white space, a snow-white Divine Tiger silently poked at a large blade of grass behind her.

"So, I can transform just by using this grass..." She picked it up and licked it.

"This grass is too high-grade. If only there was a way to further enhance spiritual plants... Then I wouldn’t have to rely on that Longevity Body brat’s re

After renaming the valley Mosquito Valley, Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao sealed the area with a barrier.

On the way back, Xu Qingyao asked, "So, you're going to start preparing for the Alchemy Conference as per the Demon Emperor’s instructions, right? Now that we have her permission, I can freely access the Demon Court’s treasury. If you need anything, just let me know."

"I’m not sure what I need yet. I’ll let you know later. But... does the Demon Court have any ice-elemental heavenly treasures, corpses of demon beasts with royal-tier bloodlines or higher, or powerful human cultivators who specialized in ice techniques or had ice-attribute physiques? Preferably ones I can use however I want."

"Hmm?" Xu Qingyao tilted her head. "You planning to use them to cultivate that Ice Gu?"

"Yeah, among my three contracted beasts, it has the lowest cultivation. It’s about time to strengthen it."

"Once it reaches Core Formation, you should be able to break through to Core Formation yourself. Have you thought about your fourth contract beast? That Mosquito Woman...?"

Lin Jing was momentarily stunned before shaking his head. "Not suitable. My other contracted beasts have eaten way too many mosquitoes."

"But Senior Sister, you did remind me of something. One of my candidates for the fourth contract beast should be born soon. I don’t know if I can form a contract with it yet... but I’ll need your help finding some materials."

He handed over a list of rare resources required for the Longevity Treasure Turtle—one of the candidates for his fourth contract beast.
