Even though Huangfu Ming was experienced, knowledgeable, and composed, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.
"Since when was it so easy for a Rank 3 pet beast to evolve?"
In some small countries, Rank 3 beasts were the guardian beasts of the country. Outside, a Rank 3 beast was enough to establish a sizable force.
From small aristocratic families to large and remote small countries.
Rank 3 pet beasts were existences that could hold their own. Even Huangfu Ming's pet beast was only Rank 3 at the moment.
Although it was considered the best among Rank 3 beasts, it was still a Rank 3.
No matter where one went, Rank 3 beasts weren't common. In fact, they were rare. But here in Lin Jin's yard, there were two of them.
Lin Jin had no idea what they were thinking. If he did, he would be glad that Huangfu Ming didn't see Goldy. If Huangfu Ming saw Goldy, he would probably have a mental breakdown.
As expected of a famous teacher in the Friar Association, Huangfu Ming calmed himself down and explained the situation at the Friar Association.
When Lin Jin heard that an assistant lecturer came looking for him while he was helping the shadow wolf evolve, and that the man was even 'beaten up' by Xiao Huo, he turned to look at Xiao Huo.
The latter seemed to be wondering if he had done something wrong as he lowered his head in dejection.
However, what Lin Jin did next cheered him up again.
"Xiao Huo, good job!"
Lin Jin praised before patting the dog's head.
Lin Jin clearly didn't think Xiao Huo had done anything wrong because he was the one who gave Xiao Huo the order. Forget an assistant lecturer, even if Huangfu Ming came and was blocked outside, Lin Jin wouldn't blame Xiao Huo.
However, he definitely had to go to the association to console that unlucky assistant lecturer. Xiao Huo must have taught him a lesson.
"Lin Jin, if there's nothing else, come with me. The mentors in the association are still waiting for you," Huangfu Ming suddenly said.
He had already explained the situation to Lin Jin. The reason he called Lin Jin over was to ask about the origin of external imagery.
Lin Jin had already spoken to the Spirit Library's manager, Wu Xi, about this. Who knew the association would still be so concerned about it?
Lin Jin really couldn't tell them where the cultivation method came from. But if you push it too far, he would just refuse to give them the cultivation method. That should be fine, right?
On the way, Huangfu Ming said, "Mr. Yuzhou, the number one mentor of the association, is also here. He's Yang Jie's mentor."
It was a kind reminder.
The conflict between Lin Jin and Yang Jie was now common knowledge thanks to some rumors. Even Huangfu Ming had heard about it.
Lin Jin's rise to power was already a threat to Yang Jie so it was only natural for them to be at loggerheads, just like how Lu Yunhe and Yang Jie used to be.
However, Lu Yunhe wasn't as strong as Yang Jie, so the conflict wasn't that serious. But now, Lin Jin was on par with Yang Jie in every aspect. In fact, he was even stronger in certain areas. As the saying went, 'Two tigers can't live on the same mountain', so it wasn't strange for them to clash.
He reminded Lin Jin so that he could prepare himself for Ye Yuzhou's' harassment '.
Lin Jin thanked him with a smile.
In any case, he had already made up his mind. If the association were to force him to reveal the origin of the technique, then he would just let them go. At most, he wouldn't enter the Spirit Library.
When they arrived, Lin Jin immediately spotted Ye Yuzhou among the group of mentors.
Because Lin Jin had met Ye Yuzhou before.
"Isn't this Old Ye?" Lin Jin was surprised.
Old Ye was visitor number ten in the Museum of Deadly Beast's Visitation Hall. They met the last time the Visitation Hall was opened. Lin Jin had a good impression of this old man, but he didn't expect him to be in Maple City as well. What's more, he was a mentor of the Friar Association.
Right, his name was Ye Yuzhou, so he addressed himself as Old Ye.
Lin Jin finally got the right name.
What a coincidence.
Who would've thought he would run into one of his Visitation Hall's visitors in the Friar Association?
Ye Yuzhou currently had a stern look on his face. Unlike Huangfu Ming's gentle and approachable demeanor, Ye Yuzhou was now putting on airs.
"You're Lin Jin?" Ye Yuzhou suddenly asked.
Lin Jin nodded and saluted. "Greetings, Mr. Yuzhou."
Ye Yuzhou was already prejudiced against Lin Jin, so no matter how he looked at him, he found him an eyesore. However, with his status, Ye Yuzhou wouldn't make things difficult for Lin Jin in front of everyone. Instead, he said, "Putting aside the fact that your pet beast injured someone, all of us mentors have been waiting here for you for more than an hour because of your external visualization. This cultivation method, be it the incantation or the explanation, is impeccable and is worthy of being included in the Spirit Library. However, we must clarify the origins of this cultivation method. We've called you here to verify this with you."
Regarding this, all Lin Jin could say was to continue the lie he had fabricated earlier.
That was, he had received guidance from an expert.
As for the name of that expert, Lin Jin couldn't reveal it. After all, there was no such person in the world.
Initially, this matter could've been ignored. Other than Ye Yuzhou, no one else here pressed Lin Jin for an answer. However, Ye Yuzhou seemed to be very concerned about this matter.
Whether he was being serious or doing it on purpose, Ye Yuzhou just wanted to ask Lin Jin about the identity of the expert who taught him this cultivation method.
Lin Jin answered bluntly, "Mr. Yuzhou, no matter how many times you ask me, the answer will be the same. I can't tell you, I can't tell you."
Ye Yuzhou's expression darkened.
The atmosphere turned awkward.
The mentors all had their own thoughts. Even Huangfu Ming couldn't say anything. After all, Ye Yuzhou hadn't done anything wrong. It was just a matter of whether or not he trusted Lin Jin.
If he trusted Lin Jin, he could ignore it. But if he didn't, he would assume that Lin Jin was lying and that this cultivation method had come from an improper source.
It was that simple.
"Lin Jin, if that's the case, then this cultivation method of yours can't be included in the Spirit Library."
At this time, Ye Yuzhou brought out his greatest trump card, which was to exercise his veto power.
However, he had clearly forgotten one thing.
It wasn't Lin Jin who requested for the cultivation method to be included, but the Spirit Library. To Lin Jin, this didn't matter at all.
Moreover, Lin Jin was displeased with Ye Yuzhou's attitude. He simply said, "Whatever you want. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Having said that, he got up and left, leaving Ye Yuzhou hanging.
This infuriated Ye Yuzhou to no end. Huangfu Ming shook his head while the Spirit Library's manager sighed.
Then, he said, "The Spirit Library was the one who volunteered to include Lin Jin's cultivation method."
Ye Yuzhou felt awkward. He had always assumed that Lin Jin was the one who volunteered to include the cultivation method in the Spirit Library.
Putting Ye Yuzhou aside, after Lin Jin left the room, he grumbled, "Old Ye, just you wait."
Lin Jin was clearly annoyed.
Lin Jin was a vengeful person.
He couldn't do anything to Ye Yuzhou now, but in the Visitation Hall, he had many tricks up his sleeves. If he remembered correctly, the Visitation Hall would reopen tomorrow. Lin Jin was already rubbing his palms together in anticipation.
Ye Yuzhou still had no idea who he had offended. He had been humiliated this time. Initially, he didn't have to be so strict about this matter and he usually turned a blind eye to it. But because of Yang Jie, Lin Jin didn't rush over immediately, and because of his preconceived notions, Ye Yuzhou had to act this way.
In the end, he lost his composure and was humiliated.
After returning, Ye Yuzhou took a big gulp of tea to calm himself down. Only then did he regain his composure.
"There's no need to get angry over such trivial matters. This is a grudge between the younger generation so let them settle it among themselves. I should focus on studying the ascending cloud flood dragon's evolution method. Speaking of which, that Curator is truly an expert among experts. The method he gave me is definitely feasible. However, I still ran into some trouble while helping my soaring cloud flood dragon evolve. But that's alright. The Visitation Hall will reopen tomorrow so I'll just have to ask Curator for guidance when I get there. "
At this thought, Ye Yuzhou felt much happier. His initial displeasure vanished into thin air. "Sigh, seriously.
Why must I be so demanding of a junior? But it's not like I've done anything wrong. It's good to be stricter with the examination. If Lin Jin's cultivation method comes from an illegal source, the Friar Association will surely be implicated. Although I'll be losing a rare cultivation method, I'll be able to avoid some trouble. That's a good thing. "
Ye Yuzhou mumbled to himself.
Just then, Yang Jie came in to greet him.
This was the time for him to teach Yang Jie in private.
"Yang Jie, you're here!"
Ye Yuzhou was in a good mood.
Yang Jie bowed respectfully and addressed him as his teacher.
"The disciple tournament will be held in a few days. How are your preparations going?" Ye Yuzhou asked.
Yang Jie was brimming with confidence.
"Teacher, for the past few years, I've been number one among the disciples and it's the same this year. No one can shake my position."
Ye Yuzhou was very satisfied with Yang Jie's answer.
But as a teacher, he had to give him a few words of encouragement.
"Yang Jie, even if victory is in your grasp, you mustn't let your guard down. The rewards given by headquarters for this year's disciple tournament are excellent, especially that lesser dragon blood pill. It was obtained from an ancient immortal's cave by an expert from headquarters. If you can obtain it, and if I ask for an evolution method for your pet beast, your pet beast will definitely evolve into Level 4."
At Ye Yuzhou's words, Yang Jie's excitement was palpable.
After hearing Ye Yuzhou's words because Lin Jin had 'snatched' his lecture today, the anger in Yang Jie's heart subsided.
Once his pet beast evolved into Level 4, it would become the Jade Dragon Kingdom's true combat power. By then, would Yang Jie still have to worry about his status? By then, all sorts of honors would be bestowed upon him.
Someone like Lin Jin wouldn't even deserve to carry his shoes for him.
Next, Ye Yuzhou lectured Yang Jie on spells. But halfway through, a disciple outside informed him that there was a visitor.
Ye Yuzhou frowned. But he knew that if it wasn't an important guest, his disciple wouldn't disturb him at a time like this.
"Do you know who the visitor is?"
Ye Yuzhou asked.
The disciple quickly answered, "That person said his surname is Lu and he's from the Jade Dragon Kingdom."
At this, Ye Yuzhou laughed out loud. "It's an important guest. Yang Jie, come with me to welcome him."
