Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 474: Battle Pet Jade-faced Fire Monkey
Shenlu Peak is quiet and solemn.

The area is surrounded by clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.

At the top of the mountain, there is an ancient building. It is the forbidden area of ​​the Taiping Dao headquarters where ordinary believers are not allowed to set foot.

Because this is the place where the great and virtuous master practices.

Only a very few people know that there is a secret room here, filled with cold air.

The cold jade bed exuded a faint cold aura. Liang Jin was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, practicing quietly.

The aura around him seemed to blend with the chill of the cold jade bed, fluctuating faintly.

Ever since bringing Princess Corning Zhao Xiling to Shenlu Peak, Liang Jin has been like a hermit, no longer going out, but concentrating on practicing hard in seclusion on Shenlu Peak.

He confidently handed over all the affairs of the Taiping Dao to the Divine Envoy Lu Qiannan and the Fangtou Chief Priest Zhang You.

Only matters concerning the princess would be reported directly to him for the decision.

Liang Jin knew very well that Princess Kangning was a key card in the hands of Taiping Dao. As long as the princess was still in their hands, Taiping Dao would not easily encounter a crisis.

But ever since Princess Corning went up the mountain, matters related to it have been flooding in like a tide, and have never stopped for a moment.

Qingzhou prefect Gao Yuan would take Liang Qizi from the Six Gates to Shenlu Peak every day, like a clockwork machine, without fail.

They certainly weren't trying to save anyone.

After all, they didn't have the courage or ability to kidnap the princess. They just wanted to see with their own eyes whether Princess Kangning was still alive and well.

Gao Yuan was also worried that the princess would not have a good life on Shenlu Peak, so he brought a few carefully selected maids with him, intending to equip the princess with them to add some comfort and convenience to her life.

But the people of Taipingdao would not agree easily, and decisively rejected Gao Yuan's proposal, making his plan go to waste.

As for Princess Kangning Zhao Xiling, she couldn't sit still for a moment.

That morning, a disciple came hurriedly and reported to Liang Jin with a slightly panicked look:

"Reporting to the Great and Good Master, that Zhao Xiling actually burned down a house!"

"While it was burning, she kept saying it was fun and wouldn't let us put out the fire."

"Fortunately, we didn't listen to her. Otherwise, if the fire had spread, I'm afraid half of the main temple would have been burned down."

Zhao Xiling has been having a lot of fun on Shenlu Peak recently!
She was so engrossed in the fun that she was like a wild horse running free.

Here she seemed to have discovered a whole new world, and found many fun things that she had never had the chance to touch or play with before as a princess.

At first, she developed a strong interest in farming. She picked up a hoe herself and worked in the fields for two days. But how could she, who was so spoiled, endure such hardship?
She didn't persist for long before she began to boss others around and order them to farm according to her wishes, as if she was commanding a special battle.

Later, she became addicted to playing tricks.

She dressed up carefully and disguised herself as a Taoist nun from the Taiping Dao. She stood in front of everyone and swore that she was possessed by Huang Tian and asked those devout believers to kneel down and worship her.

How could the Taiping Dao people tolerate such a disturbance of religious order? They immediately and decisively drove her out of the scope of religious activities, bringing her farce to an abrupt end.

Then, her interests changed again, and she became fascinated with raising pigs, picking vegetables, and cooking...

When she was a princess, she used to disdain these things and regarded them as lowly, but now they have become her favorites.

Because she was no longer bound by the rules and people of the palace, she completely let herself go, like a bird that had regained its freedom after being trapped in a cage for a long time, wanting to try all kinds of things.

Naturally, her actions brought a lot of trouble to Taiping Dao and caused headaches for everyone in Taiping Dao.

At first, Liang Jin had intended to teach her a lesson and make her control her temper.

However, after the original body learned that the emperor would not live long, Liang Jin's clone began to ignore her.

After all, the princess's mother died a long time ago.

And now her father is about to die.

This is quite tragic, so just indulge her for a while.

It is also a kind of mercy and compassion.

Now Liang Jin mainly focuses his energy on cultivation.

He knew very well that it would be a shame if he didn't seize the time to use the [Cold Jade Bed], a magical tool for cultivation, to improve his strength.

In particular, Liang Jin has gradually felt that he is very close to breaking through the third level, as if it is within reach.

The feeling of impending breakthrough, like a new bud about to break through the ground in spring, kept surging in his heart.

At this time, it is time to sign in.

Liang Jin slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to himself:

"It's the end of the month again."

"I wonder what good things will be signed this time?"

Liang Jin was full of anticipation for the sign-in reward.

The last time he signed in at the end of the month, he signed out a formation war puppet. In actual use, it was a very useful prop that solved many problems for him.

Liang Jin immediately concentrated his mind and decisively selected the [Sign in] button in his mind.

The next moment, a new message popped up on the system panel:

[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and receiving the reward: Battle Pet Jade-faced Fire Monkey.]

When Liang Jin saw this reward, he was slightly startled and secretly surprised:

"Why is it another battle pet?"

To be honest, Liang Jin is not very interested in battle pets.

The main reason was that the battle pet Divine Eagle he got last time caused him a lot of trouble.

The battle pet, the Divine Eagle, was not very obedient. It was like a naughty child and needed to be fed and raised. Most importantly, it could not be put into the [Props Bar].

This means that the battle pet has strong limitations and can only be carried by one of its clones, like a small burden that cannot be thrown away.

Unlike the war puppet, it can not only be stored in the [Props Bar] for all clones to use, but can also be brought into the [Nine Sky Boundless]. Even if it dies, there are props to revive it. It is simply a perfect subordinate.

Even something like the Yin Bone Puppet is much more convenient than a battle pet.

In Liang Jin's opinion, battle pets are the most useless thing. Although the biggest advantage of battle pets is that they have growth potential and their strength can become stronger as they grow.

But this growth cycle is very long, like a long marathon, and Liang Jin does not have that much patience to wait.

"Forget it, it's a monthly bonus after all."

"If it can really be as powerful as in martial arts novels, then it can be used."

Liang Jin shook his head helplessly and comforted himself.

Liang Jin had seen a creature like the Jade-faced Fire Monkey in a martial arts novel in his previous life.

In the novel, when Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were surrounded and in danger by a group of polar bears, the Jade-faced Fire Monkey appeared.

Its initial appearance was incredibly impressive. With a single roar, it sent all the polar bears sprawling to the ground, unable to move. With a single wave of its hand, it ripped the bear's head apart and ripped out its brain. Its strength and physical prowess were truly terrifying.

What's more, it is incredibly fast. Even the fastest bird may not be able to be as fast as it. It arches its body and leaps, and after a few takes off and lands, it has already flew over a hundred feet away. From a distance, it looks like a fireball rolling upwards, which is truly extremely fast.

Because it was so powerful, it even aroused the Purple-Clothed Dragon King's fear and dread. He was worried that he would accidentally die at the hands of the Jade-Faced Fire Monkey, so he used despicable means to poison the Jade-Faced Fire Monkey to death.

They will die from poisoning, which is also the weakness of most creatures.

That's why Liang Jin prefers creatures like war puppets that don't need to eat, and thinks they are much more practical than war pets.

Immediately, Liang Jin checked the information of this [battle pet Jade-faced Fire Monkey].

[Battle Pet Jade-Faced Fire Monkey: A unique species found only on Ice and Fire Island. Its speed, strength, and claws are unmatched by any other beast. Truly a rare and precious beast, it possesses the power of a fourth-rank warrior. Note: Battle Pets are living creatures. Once claimed, they cannot be stored in the inventory. Please take good care of them.]

After seeing that this battle pet, the Jade-faced Fire Monkey, came from the Ice and Fire Island, Liang Jin became more and more certain that this battle pet was the strange creature in the novel.

"Surely he's a fourth-rank warrior. That's pretty impressive."

"With this kind of strength, even if I meet an ordinary third-grade warrior, I can still give him a fight."

The strength of this jade-faced fire monkey brought Liang Jin a big surprise.

Nowadays, Liang Jin is still relatively scarce in terms of mid-to-upper level combat power.

Although he has a third-grade Yin Bone Puppet, the Yin Bone Puppet is slightly weaker than warriors of the same level, which means that the third-grade Yin Bone Puppet is unlikely to defeat a third-grade warrior.

Now, the war puppets Huang Xingzi and Tie Kuangtu are both prepared to fight against second-grade warriors. They are trump cards and cannot be used lightly.

The seven battle puppets in the formation can fight against a third-grade warrior together, but their individual realm is only fifth-grade, and their strength is not strong enough. They are bound to suffer losses in fierce battles.

Now, if he had more fourth-grade combat pets, this would undoubtedly solve this problem and provide him with a powerful boost.

"So, which clone should be fed?"

Liang Jin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The main body has to work in the palace. In the complex environment of the palace, every move is closely watched. Of course, it is not convenient to feed a battle pet.

The environment of the Hualong Island clone is limited, the Western Desert clone is busy sweeping across the Western Desert and has no time to be distracted, and the Changzhou clone already has a divine eagle and has no need for a new combat pet.

On the contrary, Liang Jin's clone in Qingzhou now has a certain demand for a combat pet.

Whether it is the Taiping Dao or the Red Fire Sword Sect, his subordinates lack mid-to-upper level combat capabilities.

Especially the Taiping Dao, which has swept through the territories of Guiyi Sect and Senluo Sect in recent days, taking them into its possession, and its influence has expanded again.

There are already quite a few low-level and middle-level warriors in Taiping Dao, but the combat effectiveness of the middle and upper levels has always been supported by Liang Jin alone, and there is a lack of real pillars.

After all, Liang Jin could not support the whole thing alone, which also led to the limited development of Taiping Dao. It was like a boat with only one strong rower, which made it difficult to move forward quickly.

Now having one more Jade-faced Fire Monkey is not as good as having one more third-grade warrior, but at least it can alleviate the current urgent need.

"Okay, let me raise you."

"Let me see what you look like first."

After saying that, Liang Jin immediately chose to receive the [Battle Pet Jade-faced Fire Monkey].

The next moment, a monkey appeared in front of Liang Jin.

It was a fiery red ape, about three feet tall, covered in long, blood-red fur. Under the dim light of the cold jade bed, it shimmered with a mysterious hue. Its face was as white as jade, and its glittering golden eyes moved around like two animated gemstones, its expression exceedingly lovely.

After it appeared, it looked around curiously, its eyes full of desire to explore this unfamiliar environment, and then looked at Liang Jin with a hint of confusion in its eyes.

Liang Jin knew that when the Jade-faced Fire Monkey in the novel first saw humans, it thought they were just fellow creatures without hair on their faces. It was quite friendly towards humans and was very understanding of human nature.

So Liang Jin reached out and gently touched the monkey hand of the Jade-faced Fire Monkey.

Seeing this, the Jade-faced Fire Monkey immediately reached out curiously and touched Liang Jin's big hand. Its small hand gently rubbed Liang Jin's big hand, as if feeling the warmth of a human being.

"I can't make the same mistake as the Divine Condor. I have to train you well first."

"You can leave this secret room only after you have completed your training."

Liang Jin immediately had an idea in his mind.

The divine eagle could fly at the beginning, but as soon as it appeared, it flew away like a kite with a broken string, leaving Liang Jin no chance to tame it.

Now the Jade-faced Fire Monkey is in the secret room, like a bird trapped in a cage. He has to take the opportunity to tame it and make it obedient before he can take it out and use it.

Although he has never tamed monkeys, he has tamed humans.

Back in the [Nine Skies Without Bounds], it was he who tamed Xiaoyu from a humanoid beast into someone more and more humane.

He had the same plan for the Jade-faced Fire Monkey.

Immediately, Liang Jin continued to practice martial arts in the secret room while training the monkey here.

All his clones and original body were also seizing the time to practice, which made his practice speed many times faster than that of ordinary warriors.

Time passes quickly like flowing water.

On this day, Liang Jin was immersed in cultivation when he suddenly felt that there was a slight change in his realm.

A powerful force surged in his body, like a volcano about to erupt, unstoppable.

Once this volcano erupts, it will enter a whole new realm!

"I'm...about to break through!"
