Yang Jie could tell that despite Ye Yuzhou's solemn expression, there was a hint of joy between his brows.
It was a good thing.
Yang Jie didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly followed Ye Yuzhou into the quiet room.
"Yang Jie, I've received a great opportunity today so I'll be going into seclusion soon. During this time, no one is to disturb me." Ye Yuzhou couldn't wait to try out the evolution method the curator had given him.
If it really worked, he would do anything to help his soaring cloud flood dragon evolve.
This was undoubtedly Ye Yuzhou's top priority right now. Nothing else was more important than this.
Yang Jie obviously didn't want Ye Yuzhou to go into seclusion. If he did, who would teach him?
However, Ye Yuzhou's next words caused Yang Jie to fall into ecstasy.
"This great opportunity is also beneficial to you. In seven days, I'll take one of your pet beast's feathers. If all goes well, I can help you find an evolution method for your pet beast."
...
After exiting the Visitation Hall, Lin Jin noticed something amiss in the yard.
Xiao Huo was growling at the wall while Goldy stood beside him, his gaze sharp.
Even the shadow wolf had come out of the beast pen to guard the door.
It was in a battle-ready state.
Lin Jin looked over and saw a fox standing on top of the yard's wall, its figure graceful.
It was the fox demon who rescued him this morning.
At the sight of Lin Jin, the fox demon's eyes lit up with joy. It hopped a few times on the wall before jumping off.
What the hell!
Lin Jin actually understood the fox demon's gaze and actions. It was clearly asking him to follow it.
Should he go?
Lin Jin immediately made up his mind.
Leaving the shadow wolf in the yard, Lin Jin picked up Goldy and rushed out with Xiao Huo.
Ahead of them, the fox demon was leading the way. When it saw Lin Jin following it, it jumped up and down in excitement before running off in another direction.
Sure enough, it wanted Lin Jin to follow it.
Soon, Lin Jin followed the fox demon out of the city.
In the wilderness, there was no need for Lin Jin to hide his strength. He had Xiao Huo grow larger and leaped onto the wolf's back, allowing Xiao Huo to carry him on his journey.
Xiao Huo was now almost twenty feet long. In his wolf form, he was extremely fast. Lin Jin leaned over the wolf's back, grabbing onto its fur to steady himself. All he could hear was the howling of the wind.
After a long time, they entered a dense forest. In front of them was a clearing where the fox demon was standing.
Lin Jin patted Xiao Huo's fur and Xiao Huo slowed down.
At this moment, the fox demon saw a person walking over from afar. He let out a cry and immediately ran over.
Lin Jin also saw the silhouette approaching from afar. After taking a closer look, his eyes lit up.
That figure was actually a young woman in the prime of her youth. She wore a long dress, and she was graceful and beautiful. Her facial features were regular, and she possessed a beauty that could cause the downfall of a nation.
Even Lu Xiaoyun was slightly inferior compared to her.
"Xiaowu, you're running around again!"
The woman actually hugged the fox demon in her arms and reprimanded him.
The fox demon called out a few times, as if he was arguing with her. The woman continued, "I know you want to save Little Nine. Alright, there's an honored guest here, so I won't talk to you about this."
Having said that, her charming eyes turned to Lin Jin who was on the wolf's back.
An ordinary person would definitely be terrified upon seeing Xiao Huo in his giant wolf form, but this woman was not afraid. She actually took a step forward and bowed, "Mister is kind and benevolent. I already owe Mister a favor for saving Xiao Wu. I haven't had the time to repay you, and now I have to trouble Mister to rush over to treat my Xiao Jiu. Jin 'er feels very apologetic, but my Xiao Jiu is currently in imminent danger. I hope that Mister can lend a helping hand. Whether or not he can be saved, Jin' er will never forget Mister's great kindness."
Having said that, she bowed deeply again.
Her etiquette was impeccable and her voice was gentle and pleasant. As for her appearance and figure, it went without saying.
But the problem was, a beautiful woman had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the wilderness. Moreover, she wasn't afraid of Xiao Huo in his giant wolf form. No matter how one looked at it, this was abnormal.
Lin Jin wasn't dumb. He could already guess what this creature was.
Despite his shock, Lin Jin was still an experienced man. Leaping down from the wolf's back, he said, "No need for such formalities. Bring me to your Little Nine first."
"Sir, this way please." The woman named Shang'er immediately led the way. After walking through the forest for a while, they could see a cave.
Although it was a cave in the mountains, the surroundings were clean and tidy. There wasn't even a hint of the stench of a beast's lair.
The inside of the cave was also clean and tidy. As they got closer, a few little creatures ran out. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was a nest of foxes.
The foxes were delighted to see Shang'er. They circled around her and called out softly. Shang'er seemed to understand them.
"I know, I know. We have an important guest here so stop fooling around. Where's Little Nine?"
After Shang'er asked, the little foxes ran into the cave. Lin Jin had Xiao Huo deactivate his giant wolf form and followed them in.
The cave wasn't deep. Inside, a little fox was lying on the hay.
One look at the little fox told Lin Jin that it had contracted a serious illness and was on the verge of death.
Upon seeing this, Lin Jin immediately went forward. The little foxes around him studied it curiously before automatically making way for him.
Lin Jin took a look and then reached out to touch it.
"It really is a fox demon!"
This was the third fox demon Lin Jin had recorded. Of course, it was only a Rank 1 fox demon and it wasn't in good condition. It was injured and sick.
However, this fox demon named Little Nine was clearly lucky that Lin Jin was here. Hence, even if it had an incurable illness, it wouldn't be a problem for Lin Jin.
There was a wound on the little fox's hind leg that had already started to fester. Lin Jin gave it a brief look before choosing a treatment plan from the museum.
"I need a few medicinal ingredients," Lin Jin suddenly said.
Shang'er immediately came over. "Sir, what do you need? Just tell me. I know a thing or two about pharmacology."
Lin Jin shook his head. "This is a barren mountain. Even if there are medicinal ingredients, they won't be easy to harvest. Wait for me, I'll return to the city for a bit."
Having said that, he headed outside.
Shang'er moved swiftly and blocked Lin Jin's path.
"Sir, Shang'er would like to go with you."
Lin Jin smiled. Knowing what Shang'er was thinking, he didn't reject her and walked out of the cave. This trip had to be quick so Lin Jin had Xiao Huo transform into his giant wolf form while he and Shang'er got on top.
"Xiao Huo, let's go!"
Xiao Huo immediately sprinted away. In his giant wolf form, Xiao Huo's speed was incredible. It only took him a few moments to cover a distance of several dozen miles.
Shang'er was right behind Lin Jin. She was so close that Lin Jin could even smell her fragrance.
The journey was bumpy and it was inevitable that they would bump into each other.
The Museum of Deadly Beasts immediately responded.
This time, Lin Jin's pupils dilated when he read the museum's notification but he didn't show it.
They quickly returned to Maple City. The medicine hall was already closed but there were some spare medicinal ingredients that could be used at the Beast Appraisal Association.
Lin Jin returned to the association and brought some with him. Then, he got on Xiao Huo's back and brought Shang'er back to the forest.
This round trip took no more than an hour.
Lin Jin gave the medicinal ingredients a simple treatment. First, he sealed their acupoints with needles to stop the bleeding. Then, he used a small knife to scrape away the rotten flesh, let out the blood, and applied medicine.
The series of actions were clean and precise.
After he was done bandaging the wounds, Lin Jin wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Shang'er who had been observing him, "Rest for a few days and you'll be fine."
