Undead.
This was a bloodline that couldn't be found in most beast appraisal books. It was extremely rare.
And rare meant that only a few people knew about it.
Lin Jin only found out about the mystery of the undead bloodline through the Museum of Deadly Beasts. Once the bloodline was activated, one could use the bloodline's abilities.
In other words, it could transform into a black fog and even become invisible.
Knowing this, Lin Jin remained calm. He watched as the black fog around him began to surge and slowly converge. First, it took the shape of a wolf's claws, then four limbs, a torso, and finally a wolf's head.
The Shadow Wolf that appeared once again was clearly much larger. However, it was not as large as Xiao Huo's. Instead, it was more slender, and the Shadow Wolf's claws were even sharper. Each of them seemed to be forged from steel, and the claws were longer, like the sharp blades of short swords.
In terms of aura, the shadow wolf was much stronger than before. Even standing before it, Lin Jin felt a sense of danger.
Its black fur swayed and the black fog around it seemed like it could hide in the darkness at any time.
This was the most suitable beast to roam in the dark. Even if there was no darkness, it could create darkness. Just like how the house was now filled with black fog.
The shadow wolf was curious about the changes after the bloodline was activated. After getting Lin Jin's permission, it took a step back and hid in the black fog.
The next moment, the shadow wolf leaped out from the black fog behind Lin Jin.
Its movements were extremely light and fast, almost without any sound. It was as if it was in the darkness, silent, yet extremely dangerous, able to instill fear in others.
Lin Jin waved and the shadow wolf came over in a flash, like a grim reaper wandering in the darkness.
However, before Lin Jin, it was still the same shadow wolf that Lin Jin brought back.
Lin Jin extended his hand and the wolf moved its head closer, allowing Lin Jin to pet it.
This time, the information in the Museum of Deadly Beasts changed.
"Rank 3 nether wolf."
"Undead bloodline activated. Dark attribute!"
"There are two types of advancement methods, which are …"
"Can cultivate the Beast Energy Formation."
Just as Lin Jin expected, the shadow wolf was the same as Xiao Huo. After a perfect evolution, it was at least ten times stronger than before.
If the shadow wolf were to fight Xiao Huo now, it would be hard to say who would win.
Lin Jin looked at the next evolution method.
Relatively speaking, the materials required for the Umbra Wolf were more precious. Of course, its strength would also increase after advancing.
While Lin Jin was helping the shadow wolf evolve, Lin Jin's public lecture caused quite a commotion in the Friar Association.
After all, there were many people in the Friar Association and not everyone attended the lectures.
"Have you heard? Lin Jin will be the one giving the lecture this morning."
"Lin Jin? The one who had a conflict with Senior Brother Yang Jie? "
"That's him."
"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about him. He can't be compared to Senior Brother Yang Jie. What did he say?"
"It's a branch of visualization, the External Image Method."
"Do you have notes?"
"I borrowed one. Let's take a look."
Those who were originally disdainful were immediately shocked when they saw the lecture notes. Even a stupid person would be able to see the wonders of this "External Image Technique".
And this was because the person who took down the notebook didn't write everything down.
"I didn't expect there to be an External Image Method in visualization. I didn't expect it to be this amazing."
"I know, right? I'm regretting it so much. I should've attended the lecture this time."
"It's not your fault. Senior Brother Yang Jie has always been the one giving lectures. But to be honest, Senior Brother Yang Jie's lectures don't have any real substance so we couldn't be bothered to go. Who knew that Lin Jin would be the one giving the lecture this time?"
Among the disciples, the lecture notes had become something they couldn't get their hands on.
Meanwhile, in the circle of teaching assistants and instructors, this' External Imagery Method 'had also caused a commotion. Moreover, it was different from the disciple level. At the teacher level, one could truly see how extraordinary the External Imagery Technique was.
Luo Beihe was now carefully reading through'Xue Bao'er's lecture notes. She went through them carefully, and when she was done, her expression was fascinating.
'Last time, I was still doubting the authenticity of Lin Jin's Fire Spirit Possession guidance. Now, it seems like he's truly talented and he must've been taught by an expert. It's no wonder he's unwilling to learn from a master.'
This was Luo Beihe's judgment.
She just couldn't figure out who the expert was who taught Lin Jin was.
However, Luo Beihe deduced from the External Imagery Method that the other party was definitely an extremely knowledgeable and knowledgeable elder. This could be deduced from the notes that'Xue Bao'er had brought back regarding the interpretation of the mnemonic chant.
Forget'Xue Bao'er, even Luo Beihe herself was impressed by the incantation. Without a certain level of foundation, one couldn't possibly write something like this.
Just then, a disciple came in to report that the Spirit Library's manager had summoned the mentors for a discussion.
Luo Beihe could guess what it was so she didn't delay and headed straight for the Spirit Library.
When she arrived, she noticed that several mentors had already arrived.
Mr. Yi was already seated and drinking tea, chatting happily with the mentors he was familiar with. It was a relaxing atmosphere. At the sight of Luo Beihe, Mr. Yi quickly got up to welcome her. The other mentors did the same.
This was mainly because Luo Beihe was one of the few female mentors in the Friar Association and she was very pretty.
"Mister Beihe, come, have a seat here." Mr. Yi was very enthusiastic as he beckoned Luo Beihe over. The mentors often discussed cultivation so now that they were sitting together, the topic of conversation naturally revolved around this topic.
"I heard that the Spirit Library's manager is going to record a new cultivation method and according to tradition, he's going to ask for our opinions. I heard that the cultivation method they're going to record this time isn't simple. "
"We've known about this for a long time. Isn't it just an External Image Method's incantation and its corresponding incantation? I've read a few of the disciples' notes and while that cultivation method is unique, its level is too low so it can only be used to expand one's spirit energy. It's not that valuable," an arrogant mentor suddenly said.
His tone was obviously sour.
Luo Beihe frowned. She held the External Image Method in high esteem so it was only natural that she wasn't happy to hear that.
"Mr. Ge, you're wrong. I've also read my disciple's notes about this External Image Method. Not only can it increase one's spirit energy and expand one's spirit meridians, but most importantly, it can help one to focus one's mind. Regardless of the level of cultivation, cultivators like us will often encounter moments of restlessness during cultivation. Sometimes, it's due to a lack of concentration, too many thoughts, or even inner demons during cultivation. These are the biggest obstacles on the path of cultivation. However, once you've grasped the basics of this External Image Method, you can at least stabilize your spirit force. That way, you'll be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort. "
After a pause, Luo Beihe continued, "Even though I've studied it a little, I feel that it's very useful. At the very least, my spirit force is much more stable than before and my spirit energy has increased by three stones."
That mentor with the surname Ge immediately lost face and was put on the spot.
However, his reputation was slightly lower than Luo Beihe's, so he didn't dare to go against her. Furthermore, if he really did, he would definitely be targeted by everyone present, especially Mr. Yi.
Hence, he decided to endure it for now.
"Mr. Huangfu is here."
Just then, someone announced. Everyone stood up to welcome him.
In Maple City's Friar Association, Huangfu Ming was a master teacher with an extremely high status. His cultivation level was also one realm higher than everyone else's and he was so knowledgeable that even Ye Yuzhou had to admit his inferiority sometimes.
Hence, when Huangfu Ming entered, everyone rushed to greet him.
Not long after Huangfu Ming arrived, another person walked in from outside.
"Mr. Yuzhou!"
Everyone stood up and bowed again.
This time, it was Ye Yuzhou, the number one person in Maple City's Friar Association. Not just in Maple City, but even in the entire Jade Dragon Kingdom, Ye Yuzhou was one of the top cultivators.
Whether it was his cultivation level or his pet beast's rank.
Ye Yuzhou walked in with a smile and immediately saw Huangfu Ming.
He was stunned.
"Brother Huangfu, you've reached the eighth realm of your blood contract?"
Everyone was astonished.
In the past, Ye Yuzhou was the only one in Maple City's Friar Association who was at the eighth realm while Huangfu Ming was at the seventh realm. Based on what Ye Yuzhou said, Huangfu Ming's cultivation level had improved.
Huangfu Ming smiled. "Brother Yuzhou, you're really observant. I've just reached the eighth realm too."
This was a solid piece of news.
Everyone quickly congratulated him.
Blood contract eighth realm was still a long way off for them. Most of them might never reach that realm in their entire lives.
Ye Yuzhou took his seat as well.
Everyone could tell that Ye Yuzhou was in a good mood, but they wondered what good news he had encountered.
At this moment, the manager of the Spirit Library stood up and cupped his hands towards the crowd. "Everyone, I have invited all of you here today to collect a cultivation technique mnemonic chant into the Spirit Library. According to the rules, all the mentors have to give their approval first."
This manager was the old man who usually sat at the Spirit Library's entrance. In terms of experience, he was second only to Ye Yuzhou and Huangfu Ming.
Having said that, he took out a booklet and passed it around for everyone to read.
"This is the visualization technique's' external imagery '. There's a total of fifty-six sentences and an explanation of over five thousand words. The author is a disciple of our association, Lin Jin. I've read through the entire cultivation method and the incantation is complete. It should be the orthodox incantation of the ancient visualization technique. As for the explanation, it's even more detailed and profound. I love reading so even if I were to live for another few decades, I wouldn't be able to come up with such an explanation." The Spirit Library's manager's evaluation was undoubtedly high.
As everyone flipped through it, they nodded in agreement.
Luo Beihe took a look and asked, "Is this Lin Jin's handwriting?"
"That's right!" The Spirit Library's manager nodded.
"Nice handwriting," Luo Beihe praised.
When it reached Ye Yuzhou and Huangfu Ming's hands, the two of them flipped through it and their expressions changed. One of them frowned while the other's expression darkened.
At this moment, Huangfu Ming said, "I once traveled the world and searched for the cave ruins of some ancient cultivators. As for the visualization technique, I've studied it before. The entire visualization technique is divided into the External Imagery Technique and the Inner Spirit Technique. The External Imagery Technique does indeed have fifty-six verses, and I even know a third of them. Now that I've verified it, as far as I know, it's the real technique."
