Lin Jin was just trying his luck. After all, he knew that the chances of these people providing him with useful information were slim.
But to his surprise, he actually managed to obtain a useful piece of information.
A villainous expert came forward and saluted Lin Jin.
"Curator, I ran into something like this on my way here a few days ago." This villainous expert was dressed strangely, had a beard, and had dark circles around his eyes. Lin Jin didn't know if he was beaten up or born with this appearance. His pet beast was a huge vulture with a dejected face. Despite its huge size, it was listless and most of its feathers were bald. No matter how one looked at it, it looked dejected.
Then, the man began his story.
He had heard of Curator's name before. Evil Scholar had issued a summoning order so he rushed over from the neighboring South State. But along the way, he ran into something strange.
"Curator, since ancient times, Daoists and Buddhists have always walked different paths. But the other day, I saw a Daoist priest followed by a rather handsome monk. It was very strange. That Daoist priest was old and ugly, but he was walking with a handsome monk. It's not that I'm being filthy, but it's just too strange. Oh right, there was a little white ape tied to a rope in the Daoist priest's hand …"
At this, Lin Jin's brows furrowed.
The Daluo Temple's Head Monks had not left either. When they heard this, they were immediately shocked.
"In terms of looks, that Nephew Zhi Yin of mine is indeed a talented man. Could the person following behind that old Taoist be Nephew Zhi Yin?"
Prajna Hall's head monk asked at this moment.
However, the villainous expert didn't give Daluo Temple's monk any face and ignored Prajna Hall's rector's question.
Instead, Evil Scholar stepped forward and saluted. "Master, this friend of mine is called Wang Tuzi. He has a strange temper but you don't have to lower yourself to his level. As for whether the handsome monk Wang Tuzi mentioned is your temple's Master Zhi Yin, he doesn't know either. After all, he's never seen him before."
Evil Scholar's words made sense so Prajna Hall's rector nodded in thanks before turning to Lin Jin. "Based on what this gentleman said, there's a high chance that person is Nephew Zhi Yin. After all, there's also White Ape. There's no such coincidence in this world."
Lin Jin nodded.
He thought so too. Even if it was a misunderstanding, he had to confirm it.
Thus, he asked Wang Tuzi where he met the old Daoist priest. Wang Tuzi remembered this very clearly.
"They were at Qi Long Town on the border between Grassy Continent and South Continent. We only glanced at each other at the time and didn't pay much attention to them. As for where they went after that, I don't know. But Qi Long Town is connected to Central Continent, Grassy Continent, and South Continent. If they're from Central Continent's Jade Dragon Kingdom, they might be heading to South Continent. After all, if they're heading to Grassy Continent, it should be along the way for me."
Although Wang Tuzi looked quite ugly, he was also a smart person.
Following that, he relied on his memory to describe the physical characteristics of the handsome monk and the little white ape. Putting aside the handsome monk, at least from Wang Tuzi's description, the sixth graders were 70% sure that the little white ape that was being led around by the old Taoist priest with a rope tied around its neck was the white ape.
Coupled with the monks from Daluo Temple, they were seventy to eighty percent sure that the handsome monk Wang Tuzi met was Zhi Yin.
With this, the possibility of that happening increased exponentially. After all, Lin Jin had studied probability before.
According to Wang Tuzi, he met the white ape two days ago. If the other party was on foot, they couldn't have traveled a thousand miles in two days. Although the chances of them giving chase now weren't high, it was better than wasting time.
Time was of the essence and Lin Jin planned to set off immediately. Suddenly, Shang'er sensed something and with a flick of her tail, Lin Jin and Goldy levitated into the air.
This was Shang'er's Object Manipulation skill as a Rank 5 monster.
"Shang'er, wait a moment!"
Lin Jin caressed the little fox's head. Then, he glanced at the group and invoked a spell. The water reservoir armor in his arms emitted a wave of energy.
Mist rose from the ground.
"Condensing cloud!"
Lin Jin clenched his fist and the group felt a gust of humid water vapor gushing out from beneath their feet. When they looked up again, a green cloud had condensed a thousand feet above their heads.
The green cloud fluttered and rolled like silk.
A faint gust of wind blew as if rain was about to fall.
By now, Lin Jin was hovering in the air. Standing several feet in the air, he saluted the monks and the experts who had come to help.
"Everyone, I will go and investigate now. I am extremely grateful that everyone has come all the way here. I shall thank you all with this spirit energy rain." Having said that, Lin Jin prepared to fly away.
Chen Ruyuan suddenly spoke up, "I wonder if Curator can inform you of Appraiser Lin's current situation?"
Lin Jin glanced down at Chen Ruyuan. The man obviously knew that Lin Jin was the one who dealt with the divine lightning. Now that 'Curator' was at Daluo Temple, how was Appraiser Lin doing?
Chen Ruyuan wasn't the only one who wanted to know. Ye Yuzhou and the others wanted to know as well. In fact, the Jade Dragon Emperor He Qian was the one who wanted to know.
In the air, Lin Jin smiled and said, "That disciple of mine suffered some injuries from resisting the divine lightning. It's no big deal."
Having said that, he suddenly sped up, moving several times faster than a bird. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"That's amazing!"
Daluo Temple's monks' hearts thumped wildly at this sight. It wasn't just them. Many villainous experts and monster cultivators knew that flying was the most difficult skill to master.
Flying birds had wings. Experts also needed mana to support their flight. Whether it was magic tools, clouds, or anything else, it was the same principle.
Flying through the air was simple and direct. But achieving that kind of speed was difficult.
Be it altitude, speed, or distance, it seemed like Curator was planning to fly all the way to South Continent. This was ridiculous. No one here, be it righteous, demonic, or monster, could do it.
In fact, they didn't know that Lin Jin was just as surprised. This wasn't his Cloud Manipulation but Shang'er's Object Kinesis. Shang'er was now controlling his body and Goldy.
Her speed was two to three times faster than riding on an eagle beast. It didn't take long before they flew out of the cities surrounding Daluo Temple and arrived at a vast mountain range.
They were probably several hundred miles away.
"Shang'er, that's enough. Using Object Kinesis to control me has drained too much of your mana." Lin Jin patted Shang'er's head. "Also, your injuries have healed. You should be able to transform into a human now."
The little fox in his arms didn't make a sound. Lin Jin maintained his speed. The eagle beast that had been tailing them was nowhere to be seen. However, this wasn't a problem. With a horn flute, Lin Jin could find it within a few hundred miles. Although the eagle beast was now a distance away, it was still tailing them.
Lin Jin only slowed down when he reached the edge of Grassy Continent, more than five hundred miles away from Daluo Temple.
Shang'er was clearly exhausted. Once Lin Jin landed, she curled up into a ball and fell asleep.
Lin Jin knew that she had used up a lot of her mana. Afraid that she might still be injured, Lin Jin didn't disturb her and continued to carry her.
Goldy had been flying passively the entire time so he felt dizzy. Now that he had landed, he flapped his wings and squawked.
After some thought, Lin Jin decided to act as Curator for now.
At this, Lin Jin remained in his usual attire. Instead, he summoned a cloud and flew toward 'Qi Long Town'.
Though his flying speed wasn't as fast as Shang'er's Object Kinesis, it wasn't slow either.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, Lin Jin arrived at Qi Long Town. It had only been ten minutes since Wang Tuzi told him about Lin Jin's arrival.
That was fast.
In fact, right after Lin Jin left, it started raining over at Daluo Temple.
Spirit energy rain.
Lin Jin used the water reservoir armor to gather the surrounding spirit energy. It was one of the armor's supernatural powers. Lin Jin cast this spell to help everyone's pet beasts improve their strength. If the pet beasts had any old ailments, they could slowly recover under this spirit energy rain. Not only the foot of the mountain, but even the top of Daluo Peak was being nourished by the rain.
Be it the monks of Daluo Temple or the villainous experts and monsters below, they were all stunned by this spirit energy rain.
"Curator is truly amazing!"
Amidst the crowd, a monster exclaimed in admiration as he felt the rain falling on his body.
