After Lin Jin apologized, General Lion didn't know how to respond. This man was clearly amenable to persuasion but not coercion. Moreover, General Lion had no way of summoning the ancient immortal. Ever since he started guarding this door, he had never seen the ancient immortal who created this place. Even before this, General Lion had only heard the immortal's voice but had never seen him in person.
The previously arrogant Hu Yuzhen wasn't afraid of General Lion, but the Sword Energy that descended from the sky terrified her. She didn't dare to make a sound and remained as docile as a cat.
General Lion had seen everything clearly. Lin Jin's pet beast stirred up a cold gust of wind and created a dome of ice out of thin air. Although it didn't manage to block the ancient immortal's Sword Energy, it did at least delay it for a moment. From this, General Lion could tell that this man wasn't as simple as he seemed.
Since General Lion had apologized, shouldn't General Lion go with the flow and not pursue the matter of the tigress' wrongdoings?
I can see that this Mister Lin has an extraordinary bearing, and it just so happens that I have to bring in some mortals here every year to comprehend the ancient Immortal arts. Since Mister Lin has come this year, I won't be derelict in my duties. Mister Lin, you can enter and have a look around. Also, tigress, didn't you want to come in a long time ago? This time, I'll give Mister Lin face and allow you to come along. But if you dare to behave atrociously again, the next time the Immortal's Sword Qi comes, I will slay you. "
At this, Lin Jin knew that the matter had been resolved.
He immediately went over to thank General Lion. General Lion was obviously a prideful person so Lin Jin just had to give him face. Moreover, Lin Jin didn't sense any malevolent aura from General Lion. This proved that this lion monster had indeed been enlightened and restrained by someone. According to ancient records, he was an immortal beast reared by an immortal.
That was what it meant.
Now that General Lion was willing to let Lin Jin in, that was for the best.
As for the tiger demon, Hu Yuzhen, she kept quiet as she followed Lin Jin inside with her head lowered. Of course, there was still a hint of excitement on her face. Once they were some distance away from General Lion, she whispered, "Mr. Lin, I've long heard that there's an incredible immortal's cave here. But I've been here a few times but this lion wouldn't let me in. If it weren't for you, Mr. Lin, I wouldn't have been able to enter and I would have been killed by the immortal. I'll never forget how you've saved my life."
After saying that, he bowed with sincerity.
"It's good that you know." Lin Jin nodded before asking, "How much do you know about this place?"
Hu Yuzhen immediately said, "I heard that there was a family here who obtained the Fourth Scroll of the Beastmaster, but in the end, they met with misfortune and died. Later on, it was said that the Fourth Scroll of the Beastmaster would only appear at a specific time of the year, so every year, there would be some people coming here, but those who came would mysteriously disappear. But I know about this matter, those people were swept away by the Lion Demon's white mist, so they should be here. I wanted to come in long ago, but the lion wouldn't let me. This time, I couldn't help but fight with it."
Lin Jin mused, 'You only fought me because you knew I would teach you the Dharma body technique, right?'
Speaking of which, this tiger monster was smart enough to know when to speak. After all, it was a monster that had lived for hundreds of years and even turned into a demon. If it didn't have this mindset, it wouldn't have lived for so long.
As they spoke, there was a flight of stairs leading downwards. As they descended, the mist dissipated and they saw a tall mountain peak. It was as flat as a river and there was a large hall in the middle. Many silhouettes could be seen on the ground in front of the hall. Overall, it looked like a painting.
Lin Jin looked up again but he couldn't see the fleeting words floating in the sky.
"Master Lin, there are quite a lot of people down there," White Ape suddenly said.
Hu Yuzhen was stunned. She looked at White Ape from head to toe, astonished.
She was a tiger monster that had been cultivating for hundreds of years so she had a good eye for things. This White Ape had a good foundation but he hadn't been cultivating for long, probably less than a year.
To be able to cultivate his hyoid bone and speak human language in such a short time was ridiculous.
If she wasn't mistaken, this White Ape knew transformation skills too. What she saw now was definitely not his true form.
Thinking back to when she was cultivating at Mount Cang Liang, it took her at least sixty years to reach this White Ape's level. Comparing the two, the difference was huge.
It was impossible for White Ape to have such talent on his own. This could only mean that this Mister Lin was skilled.
'Why didn't I meet a master like him when I was cultivating back then? ' Hu Yuzhen sighed inwardly. But when she remembered that this Mister Lin was going to give her Dharma body cultivation, Hu Yuzhen cheered up.
Naturally, she became even more respectful towards Lin Jin.
By the time they reached the platform below, the clouds behind them had dissipated. There were no longer any cloud stairs.
Hu Yuzhen immediately said, "This is bad. That lion has cut off our path of retreat."
Lin Jin had the same thought as well. However, he knew that this might not have been the lion monster's doing. It was most likely a restriction spell of this place.
Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they come.
There was no point in panicking now.
There were quite a number of people and pet beasts on the empty platform. However, most of them were either sitting cross-legged or pacing back and forth. Their brows were furrowed as if they were deep in thought.
Even when Lin Jin's group arrived, the people on the square didn't seem to care.
Lin Jin was curious, but there was someone else who was even more curious. Hu Yuzhen couldn't help but step forward to ask.
The person being questioned was a middle-aged man. His clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled. Who knew how long it had been since he took care of himself? He was clearly reluctant to be stopped by Hu Yuzhen.
"What are we doing? We're studying the Beastmaster Fourth Scroll, of course. If you want to study it, go ahead and take a look at the stone tablet ahead. Don't disturb me. "Having said that, he lowered his head in deep thought.
Hu Yuzhen's eyes darkened. If it weren't for Lin Jin, she might have swallowed this insolent fool whole.
But with Lin Jin around, she didn't have the courage to do so.
"Let's go over and take a look." Lin Jin noticed a stone tablet erected in front of the hall.
As he got closer, Lin Jin's brows twitched.
This stone tablet had all the contents of the Beastmaster Scroll one to three. The Beastmaster Scroll was a blood contract cultivation technique that was difficult to obtain in the outside world. Who knew it would be so casually engraved on a stone tablet here?
Not only that, but after the Beastmaster Third Scroll, the words "Beastmaster Fourth Scroll" were written.
However, the words after the fourth scroll were more obscure and there were many strange symbols, making it difficult to decipher their true meaning. But just by looking at the parts that he could understand, Lin Jin was certain that this Beastmaster Fourth Scroll was no ordinary scroll.
Lin Jin understood now. It was no wonder everyone here was so obsessed. They were all trying to study the Beastmaster Fourth Scroll.
As he read, Lin Jin couldn't feel the flow of time around him anymore. All he wanted to do was understand the secrets of the Beastmaster Fourth Scroll. There was even a voice in his mind that if he could understand the Beastmaster Fourth Scroll, he would become extremely powerful.
And so, Lin Jin lowered his head in thought.
But at that moment, a bell rang in the museum, startling Lin Jin out of his reverie.
