There were many types of beasts in this world and some of them existed only in legends. Just like this' zombie cthulhu ', Lin Jin couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
Moreover, this zombie cthulhu was injured by the same thing as Madam Ghost Child's babyface spider but his condition might not be as good as the babyface spider. One of them was more seriously injured and the other was that this zombie cthulhu was only Rank 4. Unlike the babyface spider, which was Rank 5 and dropped a rank after being attacked.
The reason why he wasn't dead was because of his unique physique. Secondly, someone had used the symbiosis spell to keep him alive.
Looking at the treatment method, it was also different from the babyface spider.
However, this zombie cthulhu was easier to treat than the babyface spider. Again, different attributes and abilities led to different treatment methods.
But no matter which method it was, the symbiosis spell had to be severed first. Otherwise, the blood contract owner wouldn't be able to live for long.
With a plan in mind, Lin Jin glanced at Ghost Child. As if sensing the curator's gaze, the latter bowed again.
"It won't be difficult to save him!" Lin Jin's words displayed the curator's immense confidence.
Ghost Child was excited. "Please enlighten me, Curator!"
"Zombie cthulhu is of the wood attribute and loves the earth. He is filled with the aura of death and is born in burial grounds. He has accumulated centuries of extreme Yin energy and is an immortal being. Find a place for your old friend and dig nine feet into the ground before burying him. Before you cover him up, sever the symbiosis spell. I'll give you a few pills to feed to him and the zombie cthulhu. In three to five days, they'll be safe and they'll be able to break out of the ground. "
That was it.
Ghost Child was dumbfounded.
It was that simple?
Had it been someone else, she would never believe it. But since it was the curator, she had to believe it.
After giving it some thought, she realized that this method wasn't as simple as she thought. First of all, this method could only be thought of by someone extremely knowledgeable. As the saying went, 'It's easy for those who know how to do it, but difficult for those who don't.' If the curator hadn't mentioned it, no matter how simple it was, she and Coffin Man would never have thought of it.
But no matter what, if the curator said there was hope, then there was hope.
Madam Ghost Child thanked him profusely.
"But there's something I have to say first," Lin Jin added, his voice stern.
"Please speak, Curator. I'm listening!" Madam Ghost Child was being cautious. She knew that the curator wouldn't treat her for no reason. There must be a condition.
Whether it was Madam Ghost Child or the person who owned Zombie Cthulhu, they were definitely the strongest in the world. People like them might come in handy in the future.
Of course, Lin Jin was referring to himself, not the curator.
The Curator's might was only limited to the Visitation Hall. Lin Jin knew this well. In the Visitation Hall, all the strong had to behave themselves. Here, Lin Jin reigned supreme.
But outside, the situation was different.
In the outside world, he was still too weak. Sometimes, people needed to think about the future and plan for the future, and the visitors of the Visitation Hall were a very important resource.
But to use someone like Madam Ghost Child, he had to use both carrot and stick to establish the curator's absolute authority.
How to establish prestige?
That was, if he said it, the other party would have to listen to him.
"I told you not to kill anymore. Did you listen to me?" Lin Jin asked.
Lin Jin had no idea if she had continued killing so he decided to bluff her.
Startled, Ghost Child quickly said, "I've never forgotten what the curator told me previously. Ever since I left, I haven't killed a single person. If I'm lying to you, may I die a horrible death."
Lin Jin observed that she was probably telling the truth.
No killing. This was the rule Lin Jin had set for her. If she obeyed him, it would mean that she feared and respected the curator.
Just like how beast tamers set a red line for their pet beasts. The goal wasn't the red line itself but to make the beast understand fear and obey orders.
"Alright, go and tell your old friend that he can save him, but he has to agree to this condition of mine. He's not allowed to kill the innocent, and he's not allowed to kill again. If he disobeys, even if it's just one person, then you can imagine the consequences."
Since it was free to scare people, Lin Jin made a threat.
Madam Ghost Child's heart thumped wildly but she quickly nodded in agreement.
Today, the curator's presence was impressive. Madam Ghost Child could be considered a famous expert in the villainous community. In the outside world, only others were afraid of her. When had she ever been afraid of anyone?
Even when she encountered enemies stronger than her, she had never been afraid.
And yet, in this Visitation Hall, facing the masked curator, she felt a tinge of fear.
As for her pet beast, the babyface spider, it had been feigning sleep ever since they entered, not daring to make a single sound. And it was all because of the curator's presence.
Moreover, the curator was a truly remarkable figure. With just a bowl of decaying blood, he was able to call out 'zombie cthulhu'. Other than the curator, no one else in this world could do this.
Every little detail proved how powerful the curator was.
Reverence had taken root.
Madam Ghost Child began recounting her past. She told them how her pet beast was injured.
Everyone here already knew who she was so there was no need for her to hide her identity. While Lin Jin didn't think much of her past, the others were dumbfounded.
Black Crow was stunned while Ye Yuzhou's expression turned solemn.
"The Lingnan Deities. To think that Madam Ghost Child used to be one of them."
Ye Yuzhou couldn't contain the shock he felt.
Because when the Lingnan Deities became famous, he was still a greenhorn. Back then, he was probably just a teenager. The Lingnan Deities were famous back then. But for some reason, they suddenly vanished without a trace. This was a strange incident that many people discussed but no one knew the truth.
To think that one of the Lingnan Deities was Madam Ghost Child.
After so many years, the Lingnan Deities should be over a hundred years old. So why did Madam Ghost Child look so young, only in her early thirties?
Could she have really become an immortal?
After all, even though they were known as the Lingnan Deities, everyone knew that it was just a title. Immortals had long since ceased to exist in this world.
Madam Ghost Child's next narration was even more shocking.
"Back then, we were invincible in the seven states of Lingnan so we couldn't help but be arrogant. We happened to hear about an immortal's ruin so we went there. Who knew we'd run into so much trouble? An ancient demon was actually sealed in that immortal's ruin. We accidentally released it and ended up encountering misfortune. If we had known, we would never have gone there." At this point, Madam Ghost Child's expression was filled with regret.
Lin Jin was both curious and excited at this point.
"How many immortal's ruins are there in this world?" He asked a rather silly question. Before Madam Ghost Child could answer, Black Crow beat her to it and said, "Curator, there are many immortal's ruins in this world but the real ones wouldn't seal a demon inside. I'm sure what Madam Ghost Child and the others encountered wasn't an immortal's cave but a prison."
It was obvious that Black Crow was an expert who had probably raided tombs quite a bit.
Madam Ghost Child nodded at Black Crow's explanation. "That's right. It was a prison. We didn't know what was going on so we opened it."
What happened next was simple. The demon sealed in the prison was extremely powerful. Of the Lingnan Deities, one died and four were injured. Since then, they vanished without a trace.
Madam Ghost Child's pet beast was also severely injured. Left with no choice, she could only use symbiosis to protect her pet beast. This brought about another problem.
And that was the bestial blood backlash.
Years of bestial blood backlash tormented her. If she hadn't entered the Visitation Hall, she probably wouldn't have lived much longer.
In other words, she was quite lucky.
"That old friend of mine was one of the Lingnan Deities. Let's not talk about his title back then. Now, everyone calls him Coffin Man!" Just as Madam Ghost Child said this, Black Crow's eyes lit up while Ye Yuzhou frowned.
Needless to say, Coffin Man's notoriety was on par with Madam Ghost Child's.
Everyone shuddered at Madam Ghost Child's description, instinctively feeling fear toward that demon. After all, that was an existence that easily crushed the once insufferably arrogant Lingnan Deities.
However, Lin Jin's words shattered the oppressive and fearful atmosphere.
"Do you still remember where that place is?"
Madam Ghost Child was surprised.
Lin Jin added, "When I have time, I'd like to go take a look."
The group was at a loss for words. The Curator didn't seem to care about that demon at all. His tone was calm as if he was talking about a sightseeing tour.
As expected of the Curator, he was incomparably domineering. Despite knowing there was a tiger in the mountain, he still chose to go there.
Madam Ghost Child gave a rough location but Lin Jin had never heard of it before. It was located deep in the mountains of Lingnan Seven Prefectures, probably thousands of miles away from Maple City where Lin Jin resided.
This extinguished the fire of passion in Lin Jin's heart.
He would have to think about this at length.
Now that the problem was solved, Lin Jin had the perfect materials for Xiao Huo's evolution. He planned to go back and study them. It would be best if he could evolve Xiao Huo before the disciple's tournament.
Then, obtaining first place in the tournament would be a piece of cake.
Just then, Old Tian, who had been silent all this while, spoke up, "Curator, I have something to ask."
Lin Jin glanced at him.
This old man had been arrogant the last time he came. Lin Jin had clearly given them a mission to collect some medicinal ingredients. Even if it was a small amount, they should have brought some with them as a sign of respect. Yet, Old Tian had brought nothing with him. Now that he wanted to ask, Lin Jin couldn't be bothered with him.
"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it next time."
Lin Jin dismissed him with a single sentence.
Old Tian's expression froze, clearly resentful. However, he didn't dare to say anything. Although he was indignant, he knew that the Curator wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Even Madam Ghost Child was obedient and respectful to the Curator. Old Tian only had a Rank 3 pet beast. If he offended the Curator, it would only bring him trouble.
