Museum of Deadly Beasts

Being a Rank 8 beast made it equivalent to an unfettered immortal. If the green fish had been hostile and attacked them earlier, they would have been dead before they realized it.

It was no wonder the Clear Wind Sword’s pursuit was fruitless. The target was too strong.

Lin Jin felt afraid just thinking about the potential consequences.

Now, it seemed like the green fish was only just a glutton. It was actually a rather gentle creature, unlike the other wild and ferocious immortal beasts.

The other immortals didn’t know how strong the green fish was, so they didn’t feel the same. But Tianzun noticed the change in Lin Jin’s expression, as if the latter had realized something.

“Mr. Lin, was that a beast appraisal method?” As Lin Jin had told him about beast appraising before, Tianzun asked such a question.

Lin Jin nodded.

Tianzun went on to ask about the fish’s condition. He had never mentioned anything about the fish before, but Lin Jin managed to answer his questions eloquently. And this intrigued Tianzun.

“Mr. Lin, this beast appraisal study of yours is truly mystifying. Can you teach me?” Tianzun asked, startling everyone else.

The ancestor of immortal cultivation was actually seeking guidance from Mr. Lin?

Unbelievable. This was just unbelievable.

However, this also signified that Mr. Lin wasn’t an ordinary mortal, that they didn’t choose the wrong individual to side with.

Lin Jin had intentionally answered persuasively so Tianzun would ask such a thing of him. This way, he could begin negotiations.

He didn’t respond directly but summoned Xiao Huo out for Tianzun to take a look.

“Tianzun, please take a look at my pet beast,” Lin Jin said.

Xiao Huo obediently went over. Tianzun had actually been curious about the fire wolf, so he began examining Xiao Huo up close, remarking just how extraordinary Xiao Huo was.

“For something that is supposedly inferior to have actually reached immortal level… This is simply an act of turning stone into gold. Mr. Lin, this pet beast of yours is truly amazing,” Tianzun praised.

Lin Jin smiled. “To be honest with you, the reason I have come to the Nine-Heaven Realm, and even disturbing you, is because I’m searching for a way to evolve this pet beast of mine. I already have the method, but I’m missing the materials to complete the process.”

Having said that, he looked at the green fish that was swimming happily in the bucket.

Tianzun was a brilliant man. He had noticed Lin Jin’s group long before they found him and knew that they were searching for Golden Tian Luo Pills. He chuckled out loud and handed Lin Jin a porcelain bottle.

“There are five Golden Tian Luo Pills in here. You can ask for more if this isn’t enough. You won’t find any in the pill ocean because this green fish of mine loves this sort of pill.” Tianzun was just too generous, offering Lin Jin five pills in one go.

After all, this was the Golden Tian Luo Pill, a priceless treasure during the immortal era that could create unfettered immortals.

Lin Jin quickly accepted it.

He had to. It would be a waste not to. He had come here aiming for the Golden Tian Luo Pill anyway. What he had thought would be an excruciating task ended up being so easy. He even got five of them in one go.

Jackpot!

Then, Lin Jin purposefully looked outside at the planet-sized Heaven & Earth Furnace that was now extinguished. He said, “Tianzun, I actually have an evolution method for this green fish of yours. Would you like to hear it?”

Tianzun’s breathing hastened.

Even after living for more than a hundred thousand years, experiencing many vicissitudes of life, he couldn’t help being interested.

It was simply because this green fish that he had nurtured for over two thousand years was now comparable to an unfettered immortal, but it wasn’t enough.

To defeat the immortal devouring beast, he must help it break through to the next rank.

But that was too challenging a task to achieve.

Tianzun was the ancestor of all immortals. It would take him only one pill to create an immortal, so it seemed like nothing in this world was too difficult for him.

And yet, strengthening this green fish even by a little had been abnormally challenging. Over the years, Tianzun had fed it countless immortal pills, but the effects had been minimal. His greatest concern was having no direction at all, and that troubled him.

Now, Lin Jin was saying he had a method to help the green fish evolve, so Tianzun was obviously ecstatic.

If the green fish could advance to the next rank, Tianzun was sure it could stand up to the immortal devouring beast. Even if they couldn’t win, at least they wouldn’t suffer a devastating defeat.

In a way, Tianzun was just like Lin Jin, only wishing for a sense of security.

He may not have to worry about his life after turning mortal and he had countless life-extension pills at his disposal, helping him stay alive until now, but Tianzun was afraid of running about outside. Mainly because the immortal devouring beast felt like a guillotine dangling above his head. Only by obtaining strength equivalent to the immortal devouring beast, as a means to fight back, could Tianzun relax and sleep peacefully at night.

So, he was very interested.

He was no fool either. Even without having to speak, Lin Jin had made his intention clear by looking at the Heaven & Earth Furnace. He probably wanted to borrow it to help his fire wolf advance to the next rank.

If the furnace was still burning, other immortals with amulets could still use it. But now that it had been put out, no one aside from Tianzun himself could start it up again.

Although this task was a little difficult for Tianzun in his current state, this deal was doable and had to be done.

“Mr. Lin, I will light the furnace for you and help you refine your pet beast. Then, you will tell me the green fish’s evolution method,” Tianzun said seriously.

Lin Jin nodded.

Tianzun didn’t even ask if the evolution method was genuine. In his opinion, it should be real. Lin Jin seemed capable enough, and even if it was a fake, Tianzun would just surrender to his fate of being cheated and not pursue the matter.

Because he probably still had to rely on Lin Jin to help his green fish evolve later on.

Everyone got up and traveled outside on cloud, arriving before the gigantic Heaven & Earth Furnace.

Tianzun’s robes fluttered in the air and his beard swayed. He took out an amulet, sliced a cut on his finger until blood came out, and then chanted a formula.

“Go!”

He tossed out the amulet and the amulet immediately morphed into a giant bell.

Dong!

The bell’s chime reverberated across the sky. Immediately after that, countless fireballs came flying from all directions.

Lin Jin observed more carefully and noticed that they weren’t fireballs but Golden Crows.

Golden Crows were considered rare immortal beasts that burned as bright as the sun. There was an old legend that the sun on earth was a transformation of an ancient Golden Crow.

Possessing flames akin to the sun was a phenomenal ability of Golden Crows.

The numerous Golden Crows flew over and rushed into the Heaven & Earth Furnace. In an instant, the supposedly dark and cold furnace came to life with flames burning inside.

At the same time, a heat wave swept over everything.

It had been a stunning sight as if a dead planet had been ignited once again. Lin Jin watched on in astonishment, unable to even utter a single word..
