Beast Tamer Ascension

Vol 2 Chapter 90: Target 6

Tianshui City, Jiang Clan—one of the city's three major cultivation families.

At present, the Jiang Clan was in chaos. The family’s greatest hope, the twin siblings, had been missing for half a month.

"I told you long ago—we should’ve found a powerful master for Qi'er and Lin'er and sent them to a great sect for training! But no, you insisted on keeping them in the clan! Now look—an accident has happened!"

In the Jiang Clan’s main hall, a middle-aged man was berating a crying woman.

“How was I supposed to know this would happen? I just wanted them to stay home longer to develop a sense of belonging to the family!”

“If we sent them to a sect so young, they’d take another master as their closest kin. By then, would they even recognize the Jiang Clan? Would they still remember their parents? They’d only see their sect and their master, not their own father and family.”

“Besides, you agreed to this at the time. Now it’s suddenly all my fault?”

“There’s no point arguing now. I just hope they ran off to play and lost track of time. But if they’ve been targeted by the Yin Corpse Sect… The family has been searching for so long. Where could they have gone?”

The Jiang Clan Patriarch clenched his fists. The Jiang siblings’ Twin Physique had never been publicly revealed—they had been kept hidden. But the Yin Corpse Sect was known for their secret methods of detecting special physiques. If the twins had encountered Yin Corpse Sect cultivators, then they were in serious trouble.

"Patriarch! Patriarch! Young Master and Young Miss have returned!"

Just as the patriarch and his wife were overcome with anxiety, a guard’s urgent shout came from outside. The two of them rushed out in an instant.

At the same time, Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin stood trembling at the gates of their family estate under Lin Jing’s escort.

They had never expected to return home after being captured by the Yin Corpse Sect.

"Could he really be a good person…?"

"Watch what you say. With his strength, he could wipe out the entire Jiang Clan effortlessly. Do not say anything unnecessary."

"For the safety of our family, we must keep quiet."

"Qi'er! Lin'er!!!"

Just as the twins were struggling with their thoughts, their parents arrived in a flash. Their mother and father anxiously examined them.

Both were at the late Foundation Establishment stage, which wasn’t exactly weak. Lin Jing withdrew his gaze.

"...Mother..." The twins' eyes welled with tears.

At this moment, the Jiang couple finally turned their attention to Lin Jing. But before they could speak, Lin Jing said:

"They were captured by the Yin Corpse Sect. By chance, I rescued them. I brought them back today so they could reassure you of their safety. After this, I will be taking them with me to train outside."

"What?!"

Upon hearing that their children had indeed been taken by the Yin Corpse Sect, the couple was shocked.

However, Lin Jing looked like a mere Qi Refinement stage young cultivator—how could they fully believe his words?

Jiang Lin quickly spoke up, "Father, Mother, what Senior said is true! He saved my brother and me. We’ve already agreed to follow him for training, so please don’t worry. Senior is incredibly powerful—not even Golden Core cultivators are his match!"

"Gol—"

The Jiang Patriarch was about to say something when Lin Jing suddenly furrowed his brows and looked in a certain direction.

At the same time, deep within the Jiang estate, an elder meditating in seclusion suddenly found his hair covered in frost.

His eyes snapped open in shock.

"Qi Refinement stage? Impossible! I merely used my divine sense to probe him, yet it felt like I had plunged into an abyss of extreme cold—my consciousness was nearly frozen! This person’s strength is definitely no weaker than mine!"

Buzz!

The elder instantly appeared outside.

Seeing Lin Jing, he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist. Many thanks for rescuing my Jiang Clan’s twins. May I ask for your esteemed name?"

Jiang Lin looked at the elder and pondered for a moment.

Since he had no intention of stealing away another family’s disciples and he wasn’t some human trafficker, he figured he might as well leave a name. That way, they would be less worried.

He took out a jade token from the Demon-Slaying Bureau and said, "Demon-Slaying Bureau, Zhu Qing. Besides this… I have another identity."

"Jiang Lin?"

The Jiang Patriarch suddenly froze, then looked at Jiang Lin more carefully.

Her cultivation, her age—could it be...?

With disbelief in his eyes, he asked, "Could it be that you are Rank 87 on the Genius Rankings—Jiang Lin of the Beast Taming Sect?!"

"Oh? He knows you?"

Lin Jing and Jiang Qi both turned toward the patriarch.

"I do! I do! She is at the eleventh stage of Qi Refinement and, along with her contracted beast, has broken through the extreme limits of Qi Refinement! Who wouldn’t recognize her in the cultivation world?"

The Jiang Clan Master was astounded.

Originally, he had doubted that Jiang Lin had truly been saved from the Yin Corpse Sect.

But now that he knew Lin Jing’s identity, he immediately understood—Jiang Lin definitely had the ability to do so.

"In that case, I wish to take Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin with me. Clan Master Jiang, what do you think?"

"This is their fortune!" The Jiang Patriarch immediately agreed.

"I have long wished to find a great sect for them to join. For them to catch Young Master Lin’s attention is a great blessing!"

"Indeed."

Now that they knew Lin Jing’s identity, even the Jiang Clan’s elder had no objections.

Lin Jing gave him a terrifying feeling.

If just one Qi Refinement cultivator could give him such pressure, there must be even stronger protectors behind him.

Following such a genius could only bring benefits to Jiang Clan’s descendants.

The twin siblings were a bit stunned.

They hadn’t expected their parents and ancestor to send them away so quickly.

Lin Jing smiled faintly.

"Since that’s decided, I won’t stay long. I’m in a hurry to leave. Now that the Jiang Clan knows they’re safe, I’ll take them with me."

The Jiang Clan members were surprised by Lin Jing’s urgency.

The Jiang elder gestured to the patriarch, who immediately understood and handed over a storage bag.

"We have yet to properly thank you for saving Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin. Please accept this token of gratitude."

"No need."

Lin Jing grabbed the storage bag and tossed it to Jiang Lin.

"Consider it their training resources."

With that, he glanced at the twin siblings.

These twin vessels were the best gift he could receive...

With two excellent vessels for nurturing his Sub-Gu, Lin Jing was truly ready to return to the academy.

He had been away for so long—his luxurious cave dwelling had been left empty. Who knew how many Spirit Stones had been wasted?

Now, he needed to enter seclusion at the academy and consolidate the gains from this journey.

He still remembered what Mr. Cao had said—two years from now, Tianji Pavilion would invite all the top geniuses to compete in the Genius Rankings Battle.

The rankings would be reshuffled.

To ensure that the Dragonblood Carp received enough Hidden Dragon Fortune to undergo a perfect transformation, Lin Jing had to seize this opportunity and take first place on the Genius Rankings!

After leaving the Jiang Clan, Lin Jing knocked out the twins and prepared to return to the Ancient Domain.

Before departing, he retrieved the latest Genius Rankings and took another look.

• Rank 3: Yan Xiangbei, disciple of Fire Domain’s Pill Refining Valley. A refining genius who once broke through the limits of Qi Refinement. He possesses the Innate Artifact Master Physique and is now at Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Capable of wielding high-grade magic treasures beyond his level and has slain a Golden Core cultivator.
• Rank 2: Mo Qianyi, disciple of Mystic Domain’s Divine Machine Manor. He possesses the Innate Exquisite Physique and once shattered the limits of Qi Refinement. Now at late Foundation Establishment, he is a mechanized arts prodigy who has used mechanical formations to destroy multiple powerful demon beasts.
• Rank 1: Chen Zhong, disciple of Spirit Dao Sect in the Dao Domain. He has the Innate Dao Physique and extraordinary comprehension ability—he even unlocked the Spell Spirit Origin of the Gravity Technique during his Qi Refinement stage. Now at Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Lin Jing gazed at the list.

If he wanted to claim the top spot, these three would be his biggest obstacles.
