Hey... is it really necessary?!
Looking at the monster that came in, Lu ming 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, Lu ming felt very tired.
Sensing the foul smell coming from the black bear's mouth, Lu ming sorted out his thoughts and was about to introduce the proper way to eat him.
During this time, thump, thump... Lu ming's heartbeat accelerated, and his stiff body seemed to regain some movement, but even if he could move, he didn’t think he could escape.
"Great King, please hear me out..." Lu ming 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 Ying 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 Ying. "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 Lu ming.
"I know." The Yuan Ying laughed heartily.
Saying this, he looked kindly at Lu ming.
At this moment, Lu ming could only remain silent.
This is...
The Yuan Ying smiled at Lu ming. "Brother, I know you have many questions in your heart, and I’m here to answer them for you."
"I am Yuan Ying, an inner disciple of the Beast Taming 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."
Lu ming 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 Taming 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 Taming Sect and become a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, cultivating beasts and seeking immortality?" Yuan Ying invited.
"Beast Taming Sect?" Lu ming knew...
His life was not meant to end here!
"Yes, the Beast Taming Sect!" Yuan Ying seemed to see through Lu ming’s caution and said solemnly, "You can rest assured that the Beast Taming Sect is a legitimate sect, recognized as a righteous path in the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom."
Lu ming nodded, but he still felt that the black bear monster’s drool didn’t seem to be fake.
Moreover, "Beast Taming 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.
Lu ming 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 Taming 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 Taming 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 Taming 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 Lu ming, laying out the pros and cons.
"I see." Lu ming understood.
No wonder Brother Ying 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 Taming 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.
"Benefactor... I am willing to join the Beast Taming Sect." Lu ming immediately said. For now, he didn’t care if the Beast Taming 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, Lu ming 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 premium quality 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 Lu ming’s answer, Yuan Ying smiled again. "Then from now on, you can call me by name,we are brothers. Let’s return to the sect!"
Finding a special physique for the sect was worth far more than the rewards of this mission.
Yuan Ying looked at Lu ming as if he were a brilliant spirit stone, incredibly pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, Brother ying... Oh! By the way!" Lu ming suddenly remembered something and said, "What about the Daoist temple that tricked me here?"
Recalling that old Daoist riding a ox, Lu ming 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 Beast Taming Sect Elder Mo Wuya of the Beast Taming Sect, has been waiting for you. He is responsible for identifying special disciples, and it was he who discovered Yuan Ying 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!"
Lu ming 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...?
