When it came to monsters, it was better to keep it a secret. Although Lin Jin wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to provoke it.
He didn't even tell Zhao Ying and the others about the fox demon.
After lunch, Lin Jin headed straight for the Friar Association.
There were only about ten days left until the Friar Association's disciple tournament. Lin Jin had to make some preparations. After all, only by winning first place could he receive the dragon blood pill as a reward.
The dragon blood pill was the key to Xiao Huo's perfect evolution so Lin Jin had to find a way to get his hands on it.
Since he didn't have a mentor, Lin Jin had no one to seek guidance from. However, there were many independent disciples in the Friar Association. They studied and cultivated on their own. If they needed books, they could borrow them from the 'Spirit Library' using their disciple token.
Lin Jin headed straight for the Spirit Library today.
The Spirit Library was probably the most popular place in the Friar Association. Some people were so obsessed with cultivation that they practically lived here, immersing themselves in a sea of books.
Sitting at the entrance of the Spirit Library was an old man with a large tortoise under his butt.
Many people chose to have a large tortoise as a pet beast. For example, Zu Can's sapphire tortoise.
However, the one before him was clearly more imposing than the sapphire tortoise. Even without the Museum of Deadly Beasts, Lin Jin could tell that this tortoise was Rank 3.
Sure enough, the Friar Association was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
There were many books on the desk before the old man. He must be the Spirit Library's manager.
Lin Jin bowed and showed him his disciple token.
The old man looked up and scanned him.
"You're new here?"
Lin Jin nodded.
It was normal for the old man to notice. Lin Jin had yet to undergo the blood contract realm assessment so there were no cloud patterns embroidered on his robes. Compared to the disciples around him, he stood out.
Some of the other disciples had one cloud pattern, while others had two. It was rare to see three cloud patterns.
Lu Yunhe had four cloud patterns, and so did Yang Jie. As for the old man before him, Lin Jin glanced at him and saw that he had six cloud patterns.
He was a big shot.
"Go to the first room on the west side first. There are basic blood contract cultivation techniques there. Cultivate and learn them first. You have to at least finish reading 'Basic Blood Contract Chapter 1', 'Elementary Beast Knowledge', and 'Thirty-six Blood Contract Cultivation Techniques Solutions'. Then, choose a blood contract cultivation technique that corresponds to your attribute. This is the second room on the west side. There are many cultivation techniques of different attributes. Some are easy, some are hard. You just have to choose one that is suitable for you to cultivate. Perhaps in two or three months, or even five or six months, you will be able to reach the first realm."
The old man explained without raising his head.
This must be a special introduction for 'newbies'. Lin Jin noticed that other disciples with blood cloud patterns only had to show their disciple tokens. There was no need for such an explanation.
Lin Jin thanked him. Although he didn't know the old man's name, he knew he was kind-hearted.
After entering the Spirit Library, Zhang Xuan found that it was indeed spacious. Looking around, it was divided into east and west sides, and each side had more than ten libraries. Here, one could smell the fragrance of books.
Lin Jin's predecessor had some understanding of blood contract cultivation. After all, he was a beast appraiser. Although he wasn't an expert, he still had some general knowledge.
For example, how to help someone form a blood pact with a pet beast.
That was the basics.
After forming a blood pact, one's level and realm could be increased too. This involved specialized cultivation methods.
Ancient immortals cultivated various immortal spells, channeling spiritual energy from heaven and earth to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven. Now that immortality was hard to find, people mainly focused on improving their blood contract realm and pet beast's level.
Lin Jin entered a room on the west side.
There were several bookshelves that led to the top of the room and each shelf was filled with books.
Many disciples were either standing or sitting, studying the books in the hall.
When Lin Jin entered, some people didn't even raise their heads. Some glanced up but paid him no mind. However, there were also some who were slightly stunned when they saw Lin Jin.
"Look, it's Lin Jin!"
"Which Lin Jin?"
"He's the one who had a conflict with Senior Brother Yang Jie over a woman."
"Oh, it's him."
There were whispers.
Lin Jin pretended not to hear them.
He first looked at the table of contents on the bookshelf and found the books he needed. They were the three basic books that the old man had mentioned, "Basic Blood Contract First Chapter", "Basic Beast Knowledge", and "Thirty-six Blood Contract Cultivation Methods Solutions".
However, after flipping through them, Lin Jin found them meaningless.
He knew most of the contents. Although these books could be considered classics, Lin Jin still found them to be a little too cumbersome in his eyes.
He remembered that Xiao Huo's stone tablet in the Museum of Deadly Beasts had a method to raise his blood contract level.
Immersing himself in the museum, Lin Jin brought up Xiao Huo's stone tablet and began reading.
Sure enough, there were several methods to raise one's blood contract in the museum. After a brief glance, Lin Jin realized that they were much more profound than the ones in the books here.
Most of the books here started from the basics. Through absorbing spirit energy from spirit stones, one could raise one's blood contract realm and thus increase one's spirit energy capacity.
The method in the museum was only one of the methods, and it was the one with the lowest efficiency.
The museum provided at least ten methods to raise one's blood contract.
For example, 'visualization', 'spirit seizing', 'vein strengthening', 'energy formation', 'inner pellet' …
Lin Jin looked through them. Each of these methods had their own merits and they were all secret methods that couldn't be found outside.
After some comparison, Lin Jin realized that the 'vein strengthening' method was the most suitable for him. But the most efficient method was undoubtedly the 'spirit seizing'.
'Let's try the spirit seizing method first. If it doesn't work, I'll switch to another one! 'Lin Jin chose casually. Truth be told, none of these methods were bad.
At the very least, they were much better than the ones provided by the Spirit Library.
Also, it didn't mean that he couldn't cultivate other methods at the same time after using one.
At this, Lin Jin found a spot, picked up a book at random, and sat down cross-legged. Pretending to be reading, he was actually cultivating the 'spirit seizing' method.
This spirit seizing method was quite wicked.
To put it bluntly, Lin Jin had to use a secret breathing technique to steal spirit energy from his surroundings. In other words, if he caught all the fish in the ocean, the others would be left to fend for themselves.
However, cultivation was meant to be competitive. There was no need to be considerate of others.
If he were to be modest, others wouldn't hesitate to attack him when the time came.
Compared to others, Lin Jin had a huge advantage.
That was, he knew the pulse-seeking technique.
Paired with acupoint piercing, it could enhance the effects of spirit seizing.
After half an hour, Lin Jin mastered the breathing technique. Then, he began experimenting.
Taking a deep breath.
The already thin spirit energy in the surroundings began to stir, shifting toward Lin Jin.
Exhale.
Exhale, purifying one's internal organs.
