The curator seemed to be in a good mood. Hence, after presenting the large bag of beast pelts, Tian Bao said respectfully, "Curator, these are the pet beasts of some of my friends and family. If you could give me a few appraisals, Old Tian would be eternally grateful. Next time, I will surely traverse the mountains in search of treasures for you, Curator."
Even He Qing was dumbfounded by his reverence. She mused, 'This Old Tian sure knows what he's doing. Last time, he was so arrogant that he refused to submit to anyone. Now, he's on his knees begging for help. Can he not be so two-faced?'
Frankly speaking, Old Tian's actions were normal. If he continued to be stubborn this time, the curator would probably get angry and might even strip him of his visitor status.
He Qing was making wild guesses.
However, little did she know that the omnipotent curator had no idea how to strip him of his visitor status. If he did, he would have kicked Old Tian out the first time.
Lin Jin went through the beast hides and furs in his bag. The number of beasts recorded in the museum had increased, and among them, there were some rare beasts that were worthy of his attention.
Most of them were ordinary mountain beasts that weren't worth mentioning.
Glancing at Old Tian, Lin Jin pondered for a moment before taking out a pill.
This pill was the Six Yin Beast Soul Pill, which was used for the shadow wolf's evolution. It was obvious that this pill wasn't meant for Old Tian's pet beast.
Tossing the pill to Old Tian, Lin Jin said, "You've brought eighty-nine pet pelts with you and one of them is a Nanjiang slanted-eyed tiger. It looks pretty good and has a Yin wind attribute. Feed this pill to that tiger and consider it a reward for your efforts."
Lin Jin spoke casually.
He didn't refine this pill. It was refined by the Shi family's alchemist. To be honest, the quality was average. But when it came to pills, they had to be tailored to the right conditions.
If a pet beast with a compatible attribute consumed the pill, it would definitely benefit. But if it was a beast that was compatible with the pill, it would greatly benefit the user.
Take the shadow wolf for example. After consuming the six shadow beast soul pill, it evolved immediately.
Hence, it depended on who ate it.
Lin Jin was still prejudiced against Old Tian. Moreover, Old Tian's pet beast was a Rank 3 tyrannosaurus. It wasn't like he didn't have an evolution method, but why would Lin Jin give it to him?
Even if he did, Old Tian did not know how long it would take for the tyrannosaurus to evolve.
But the rank two Southern Wilderness suspended-eyed tiger that he had chosen was different. No matter its attribute or state, it was extremely compatible with the Six Yin Beast Soul Pill. If there was no accident, that fierce beast would definitely advance on the spot after eating it.
Old Tian did not dare to say anything after receiving the pill. He was still a little suspicious. Everyone else had given him an evaluation report, but he had only received an unknown pill.
But now, he absolutely did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Even if the curator did not give him anything, he had already made up his mind to respectfully worship the curator's party ancestors and not dare to offend them in the slightest.
Old Tian's matter was finally settled.
Lin Jin glanced at the other wooden doors in the Visitation Hall. The doors behind number ten were still tightly shut. No new visitors had entered the Visitation Hall twice in a row. Lin Jin didn't know why but there was nothing he could do.
He had other matters to attend to. After informing the visitors, Lin Jin retreated, leaving them alone.
After the curator left, the visitors continued to stay and interact with each other. This had gradually become a habit. Even arrogant people like Madam Ghost Child and Jiang Ziqi stayed behind.
Unlike last time.
Last time, Old Tian was ignored. But this time, the curator accepted his medicinal ingredients and even gave him a pill. This meant that the curator had accepted him.
Now that the curator had accepted him, the other visitors wouldn't reject him either. Hence, Old Tian realized that he was lucky enough to blend into this small circle.
This small circle wasn't as simple as it seemed. Old Tian had listened carefully. It seemed like Black Crow and Madam Ghost Child had gone to Grassy Continent's Snake Country together to stir up trouble, and they even succeeded.
Old Tian had never heard of Grassy Continent's Snake Country. After all, it was quite a distance away from Southern Continent. Old Tian wasn't an inexperienced person, but he knew the concept of an intermediate country.
That was a country that had a Rank 4 pet beast as its overseer. Only then could it be considered an intermediate country.
Such forces existed in Southern Continent as well. Old Tian and his group had offended an intermediate country many years ago and ended up being hunted down for several years. It could be said that they were in a sorry state and nearly died in the hands of their pursuers.
Because of this, they had no choice but to hide in the mountains, robbing people for a living.
To put it nicely, they were the kings of a mountain, living a carefree life. To put it bluntly, they were just a bunch of rabble seeking survival.
Now that he had the chance to chat and laugh with Black Crow and Madam Ghost Child, existences that could go up against an intermediate country, Old Tian felt like his realm had improved quite a bit.
It was as if he could easily destroy an entire country while chatting and laughing.
This time, Black Crow brought wine for Jiang Ziqi. Jiang Ziqi also brought quite a number of rare fruits for everyone to eat. Many of them were varieties no one had ever heard of. He Qing was very happy. She did not come empty-handed. She took out a paper bag that was filled with exquisitely made snacks.
Ye Yuzhou's eyebrows twitched when he saw them.
He was knowledgeable and the pastries He Qing brought were exquisitely made. They definitely couldn't be found in an ordinary place. They looked like snacks used by the royal family.
Moreover, the oiled paper used to wrap the pastries was very particular as it couldn't be found anywhere else.
More importantly, Ye Yuzhou saw a small jade seal on the paper. The others might not be able to recognize it but Ye Yuzhou was a citizen of Jade Dragon Kingdom. He was also a guardian of the kingdom and was under the jurisdiction of the National Guardian. Strictly speaking, he had an official position.
Hence, he could recognize the seal of Jade Dragon Kingdom's royalty.
He glanced at He Qing, wanting to ask her something but held himself back.
The Visitation Hall's rule was that no one asked about one's background. Although he had some guesses, it wasn't appropriate for him to ask directly.
However, he was certain that the young lady was most likely a member of Jade Dragon Kingdom's royalty.
Could she be one of the princesses?
Ye Yuzhou's thoughts ran wild. Then, he remembered that the young lady had sought medical attention for her sister and the Curator said that someone would be there to treat her in a few days.
Back then, Ye Yuzhou was curious. Since the Curator said that, he must know about the young lady's background. Ye Yuzhou was certain that the Curator was currently in Jade Dragon Kingdom. Could it be …
Ye Yuzhou suddenly thought of a possibility.
He knew that Lu Bin was here to invite Lin Jin over to the royal capital as a guest. With that, they were finally on the same page.
When the Curator said that someone would be there to treat her, he must be referring to his disciple, Lin Jin.
So everything was within the Curator's calculations.
Now that he knew this, Ye Yuzhou dared not ask further. However, he made up his mind. Since he was going to Jade Dragon City anyway, he might as well go with Lin Jin. Once he did, he would know everything.
Feeling smug, Ye Yuzhou began enjoying the pastries and the delicacies.
As usual, the visitors chatted and exchanged what they needed. Some of them needed special ingredients and herbs while others wanted to sample exotic delicacies and wines.
After chatting for more than two hours, they said their goodbyes and agreed to meet again in seven days.
