"Black water turtle, Rank 6 immortal beast, water attribute."
"Dead."
…
As Lin Jin studied the turtle, he gradually recovered from the shock.
When this large turtle was still alive, it must have been an earth-shattering existence. Its rank was obvious, not to mention that it was an immortal beast.
However, no matter how powerful an existence was, their power and influence would become a thing of the past after death. Take this Rank 6 immortal turtle for example. A thousand years after its death, its turtle shell became a branch of demonic appraisers. They built houses and practiced demonic arts on it.
Now that the turtle shell had been split into two by White Ape's punch, it had lost all its spirit energy and sunk to the bottom of the lake. At least, it had found a home.
Just then, Lin Jin sensed something. With a swift movement, he was already more than a hundred feet away. He stared at a crack in the turtle shell with a shocked expression.
"Why is there residual spirit energy down there?" Lin Jin mumbled to himself. A cloud appeared beneath his feet and he descended into the crack.
There was a hole inside the turtle shell. After all, a turtle shell wasn't completely intact so it was normal for there to be holes inside. If it weren't for White Ape's punch, no one would have noticed this.
Just then, Lin Jin saw something glowing down there.
As he got closer, he realized it was a hexagonal shell plate.
There were countless of these small plates inside the turtle shell. They were the components that made up the shell. However, the other plates were dull and ordinary. Only this one had a spiritual aura that Lin Jin had never seen before.
Good stuff.
This was definitely good stuff.
Even if he didn't appraise it, Lin Jin was a hundred percent sure. Of course, he still had to appraise it. Lin Jin reached out to touch it and was instantly overjoyed.
Just as he had guessed, this was indeed a treasure.
"Water reservoir armor. Collects water spirit energy and the essence of an immortal beast!"
Based on the Museum of Deadly Beasts' appraisal results, nothing else could compare to this item's value. Lin Jin took the shell and held it in his hand at once.
Holding the shell in his hand, Lin Jin immediately felt a strange sensation. He could clearly sense the water vapor around him and even the water vapor in the lake.
Lin Jin even had the urge to use his mana to manipulate the water vapor for his own purposes.
Of course, Lin Jin didn't do that. Firstly, the timing wasn't right. Secondly, his assumption that he could control water spirit energy was just an illusion. After all, some spells still had to be cultivated.
However, there was no doubt that this piece of armor could control water.
After scanning his surroundings to make sure there were no other treasures here, Lin Jin left on his cloud. By now, the two pieces of Turtle Island were about to sink. The lake water was starting to overflow, drowning the corpses of many pet beasts and demonic cultivators.
Lin Jin looked at Elder Song who was half-submerged in the lake water and mumbled, "You guys have been searching for treasures everywhere, scheming to earn more money. I bet you never imagined that a priceless treasure would be right under your feet."
This was fate.
Lin Jin knew that he had hit the jackpot this time. If he hadn't come to Reed City, he wouldn't have encountered the Demonic Appraisal Association. If he hadn't followed the clues to this place, he wouldn't have discovered Turtle Island. And if White Ape hadn't split Turtle Island into two with a single punch, causing the island to fall apart, he wouldn't have been able to discover the water breeder scale hidden within the turtle's shell.
If he had made a single mistake, the outcome would have been completely different.
"It's a good thing you guys died. Otherwise, you would have died from anger after missing out on such a precious treasure." Having said that, Lin Jin took off on the cloud. By now, Turtle Island was slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake.
The fog around them had mostly dissipated. Lin Jin knew that it was probably the shell armor he was holding that had gathered the fog here. The fog had sealed the surface of the lake all year round, concealing Turtle Island within.
Now that the turtle's shell was broken and the armor armor was in someone else's hands, the fog naturally dissipated.
"Let's go." With a wave of his hand, a cloud gathered and lifted White Ape up. Then, both of them floated down to the shore.
Lin Jin realized that after equipping the water reservoir armor, he could cast the Cloud Spell with greater ease. The Cloud Spell was clearly related to the manipulation of water vapor and the water reservoir armor was obviously able to enhance this type of spell.
The armor armor obviously had more uses than that. However, Lin Jin would have to slowly explore it in the future.
Back in Reed City, the Qiao family had tidied up their yard. Escort Zhang had become their most important guest. Although the authorities had been interrogating him, the Qiao family was a powerful family so they couldn't get much information out of him. In the end, they left.
Inside the living room, Escort Zhang told them everything he knew.
Qiao Feigong said, "I just don't know if Appraiser Lin will come back. Appraiser Lin left in such a hurry. He helped the Qiao family so much that if he doesn't come back, we'll go to Maple City to thank him. Right, we might have to ask Escort Zhang to accompany us then."
At this, Escort Zhang chuckled. "Of course, of course."
Just then, someone came to report that Appraiser Lin had returned.
"What?" Qiao Feigong got up in excitement and immediately ran outside. Afraid that his father would fall, Qiao Xing quickly chased after him. However, despite his youthful strength, he couldn't catch up to Qiao Feigong.
Qiao Feigong was visibly excited.
Lin Jin had returned.
At first, he didn't want to come back. But after reading the secret letters he found on Elder Song's body, he changed his mind.
The Demonic Appraisal Association didn't target the Qiao family because of their wealth. Instead, it was because they discovered a secret treasure hidden in the Qiao family.
However, Elder Song's letters didn't specify what kind of treasure it was. Of course, Lin Jin didn't come back to covet the Qiao family's secret treasure. Instead, he wanted to warn the Qiao family.
Although he had destroyed one of the Demonic Appraisal Association's branches, they still had seven other branches. Other than that, they had an even more powerful headquarters.
Since they couldn't find Lin Jin, they would most likely vent their anger on the Qiao family.
After all, anyone with a brain would know that the Demonic Appraisal Association was annihilated because they attacked the Qiao family.
Hence, Lin Jin still had to warn them.
As for the Qiao family's secret treasure, he could mention it. If they were willing to tell him, so be it. If not, Lin Jin wouldn't force them.
Just then, Qiao Feigong arrived.
"Appraiser Lin!"
Qiao Feigong was panting slightly. After all, he had run all the way here.
Lin Jin knew why the Qiao family was so agitated. Come to think of it, the Qiao family wasn't a bad family so Lin Jin had to warn them.
After welcoming Lin Jin inside, the Qiao family was overjoyed. Escort Zhang came out to greet him as well. Not even the city lord's arrival could compare to this.
Only the core members of the Qiao family were present in the living room. As Escort Zhang was the liaison between the Qiao family and Lin Jin, he was also present and treated as an honored guest.
Without wasting any time, Lin Jin told him who the Qiao family's enemy was.
