"Xiao Huo!"
Lin Jin called out. A fist-sized wolf beast covered in flames leaped out from his arm. The flames on Xiao Huo's body were translucent like a glazed fire crystal. Like a blazing sun, Xiao Huo shone brightly, illuminating the entire cave.
Many of the Jade Dragon Beasts hiding in the dark were shocked. Some were stunned on the spot, while others hurriedly scurried into the small caves at the side. It could be said that it was a mess.
Under the light, the cave was as bright as day. Now, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Also, upon closer inspection, the cave wasn't particularly deep. They could see the bottom after two hundred feet at most. Lin Jin brought He Yu all the way down to the bottom.
Xiao Huo's light illuminated the cave without a single blind spot.
It could be said that ever since the Jade Dragon Lair appeared, it had never been this bright.
Senior Mo gaped at this. In fact, he had been dumbfounded ever since Lin Jin summoned his cloud to descend.
"Walking on clouds … This is the work of an immortal. Could he be …" Senior Mo's claw, which was hidden behind his back, began to tremble.
It didn't dare to make another sound.
At the bottom of the cave, He Yu looked around curiously. Although she was the one here to pick out the pet beasts, Lin Jin was actually the one in charge.
Most of the jade dragons were hiding in caves that resembled beehives so there was no other choice.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jin activated his Beast Deterrence ability and said, "Jade dragon, come out of the cave. If I choose one of you, I promise to make sure that it will be reborn and even seek the true path of the Dragon Deity. Think carefully, this is your only chance."
Having said that, Lin Jin waited quietly.
The jade dragon beast was born at Rank 3, but there was a fundamental difference between each Rank 3. Some Rank 3 beasts had inferior roots or even incomplete roots, just like the ones that were on the waiting list. It wasn't that they couldn't choose them, but if they did, the path they would have to tread would be much more dangerous. If this was the case for a beast appraiser of Lin Jin's level, anyone else would never be able to evolve this inferior jade dragon beast for the rest of their lives.
The 'true Path of the Dragon God' Lin Jin mentioned definitely wasn't the same as the jade dragon's self-proclaimed Path of the Dragon God. Now, it all depended on whether there was a jade dragon with great potential who knew what was good for them.
After waiting for a while, jade dragon beasts started popping out from the densely packed caves.
Third-rank jade dragons already had decent spiritual intelligence and the ability to think. Clearly, the deterrent power of ferocious beasts was' might ', and the Dao of the Dragon God was' kindness'. With both kindness and might, there was no need to worry about jade dragons with superior potential not taking the bait.
Sure enough, after a while, even more jade dragons came out. They were either flying or climbing. There were at least a hundred of them.
There were so many jade dragons that He Yu found it hard to take them all in. Lin Jin scanned through them and eventually, he chose a jade dragon that was white in color and reached out to grab it.
"Come here!"
The White Jade Dragon was unable to put up any resistance in the face of the Deterring Force. It was sucked into the Deterring Force through the air. Senior Dragon Mo burst into laughter upon seeing this.
"Hmph, that's all there is to it. After so many choices, you ended up choosing the worst one. It can't even compare to the dozen or so I found earlier." Senior Mo scoffed with a hint of mockery.
By now, the white jade dragon was right in front of Lin Jin. It was obvious that this white jade dragon was a little timid and its body was trembling. Upon closer inspection, although this white jade dragon was a rare white jade dragon, there were too many impurities in its white jade, making it impure. In addition, one of the white jade dragon's horns was broken for some reason, making it look like a cripple.
No matter how one looked at it, it couldn't compare to the dozen or so jade dragons that jumped onto the dragon selection platform.
However, Lin Jin's eyes lit up when he saw this timid, inferior, and obviously crippled jade dragon. It was as if he was looking at a peerless treasure.
He walked over and patted the jade dragon's head, saying, "Good, good, very good!"
Having said that, he turned to He Yu and said, "This is it!"
He Yu was stunned. Although she was curious as this white jade dragon didn't seem like much, since Lin Jin had so many of them, she wouldn't have any doubts now.
"Alright!" He Yu nodded.
Lin Jin was satisfied. He Yu wasn't a conceited person so she wouldn't question the choice Lin Jin had given her. That was good.
Lin Jin immediately waved his hand to summon a cloud. Then, he brought He Yu and the white jade dragon up to the dragon selection platform. He didn't recall Xiao Huo either. With Xiao Huo around, the surroundings were bright and comfortable.
He Qian and the others came up to greet them. When they saw the jade dragon Lin Jin had chosen, they were dumbfounded.
He mused, 'What's going on? Why is it that after such a thorough selection, the jade dragon he picked isn't even as good as the dozen or so jade dragons from before?'
However, He Qian was a shrewd man. No matter how many questions he had, he couldn't possibly voice them out in front of Lin Jin. Yet, he couldn't hide the curiosity on his face.
If He Qian was behaving this way, it was even more so for the two princes. Both of them were hesitant to speak, perhaps because the jade dragon they had picked was too mediocre.
It wasn't just mediocre. They had come to the Jade Dragon Lair to pick out a dragon before and any one of them would be better than the one they picked this time.
Similarly, even though they were puzzled and even doubtful, not a single one of them opened their mouths to ask.
They could hold it in, but Senior Mo couldn't.
"Hahaha, I thought this person was amazing. Who knew he would pick the weakest dragon in our Jade Dragon Lair. What a joke, what a joke. He Qian, if you'd said you wanted this earlier, I would've given it to you long ago. Forget one, I could've given it to you as many as you wanted."
His words were filled with ridicule and ridicule.
He Qian said nothing.
He didn't know what to say. Upon hearing this, the white jade dragon felt even more inferior. It lowered its head and said nothing. Lin Jin stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Senior Mo.
"You're wrong. I've chosen a dragon with the potential to become a true dragon. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that its potential is the best in the entire Jade Dragon Lair," Lin Jin said seriously.
"Nonsense. Potential to become a true dragon? Do you know what a true dragon's potential is?" Senior Mo knew Lin Jin wasn't as simple as he seemed. He could tell from the way the man walked on the clouds.
But he refused to accept it. Especially when he was certain that what he knew was the truth, he wanted to prove it even if he already knew Lin Jin wasn't a mortal.
Faced with Senior Mo's provocation, Lin Jin pondered for a moment before retorting, "True Dragon's talent is a type of talent. There are hundreds of species of dragons in this world, so of course there are differences between them. Different dragon beasts can become true dragons, but not all dragon beasts have the opportunity to do so. In other words, only one true dragon can be born out of ten thousand false dragons. Today, I've chosen this one true dragon beast." Senior Mo nodded and said, "Senior Mo, you're right.
This was a blatant slap to Senior Mo's face. Lin Jin was just short of pointing at Senior Mo's face and saying, "You're also a false dragon."
How could Senior Mo tolerate this?
Senior Mo became hot-headed and bellowed, "What a load of nonsense! If you can prove that trash has the potential to become a true dragon, I'll even become your servant!"
