To the visitors, the Visitation Hall was a chance to consult the Curator. To Lin Jin, it was also a platform for him to gather information.
By the time Lin Jin appeared in the Visitation Hall wearing the Curator's mask, all eight visitors had arrived.
Over the past few days, various versions of the Curator's solo visit to Daluo Temple and his duel with Daluo Peak had spread far and wide. Even He Qing in the palace had heard about it.
It wasn't just her, even Feng Ziqian and Zhao Jingyan had heard about it.
It was obvious how fast the news spread.
However, they were too far away from Daluo Temple so by the time they heard about it, it was already too late for them to rush over. Otherwise, they might have gone over to join in on the fun.
"Greetings, Curator!"
All eight of them bowed in unison.
Including Feng Ziqian and Zhao Jingyan. Although they were newcomers, they already knew what kind of existence Curator was. Everything else aside, just the fact that he had fought his way to Daluo Peak and dueled with Daluo Temple's abbot and rector monks was enough to scare people to death.
Daluo Temple's abbot was an existence that not even a premium country would dare to offend. Each of the four guardian beasts was Rank 5. Just this alone wasn't something a premium country could handle.
Lin Jin raised his hand, gesturing for them to make themselves at home.
"Today, you may ask questions first. As long as it's related to pet beasts, I will answer them. Then, I will also ask you some questions." Lin Jin went straight to the point.
The others didn't ask too many questions. At most, Madam Ghost Child helped Old Turtle ask about the situation. The newcomers, Feng Ziqian and Zhao Jingyan, had the most questions.
However, this wasn't a problem for Lin Jin.
As long as it was related to pet beasts, Lin Jin was omniscient.
He had the confidence to say this.
Feng Ziqian asked about pet beasts' evolution methods. Lin Jin wrote down an evaluation report and tossed it to him. Zhao Jingyan asked about Nirvana. Of course, she brought the phoenix egg with her.
Lin Jin was anxious to ask about the Daolord so he didn't hold back and said, "Do you think of Nirvana as rebirth? A phoenix's nirvana, rebirth through fire?"
In fact, Zhao Jingyan had already guessed this but Lin Jin's words still left her shocked and excited.
"A phoenix's nirvana, rebirth through fire!"
"Rebirth through fire!"
Zhao Jingyan muttered these words and instantly understood. She looked at the sparkling and translucent phoenix egg in her hand that was emitting a scorching flame. She wished she could immediately find a place with a strange flame and throw it inside.
Lin Jin could tell what she was thinking. After giving it some thought, he said, "Rebirth requires timing too. It might not be good if it's too early, but it might not be bad if it's too late either. The hotter the fire, the faster the rebirth."
Then, Lin Jin raised his hand. Using flames as ink, he wrote an edict fire amulet and inserted it into the phoenix egg.
This fire amulet contained three types of flames.
One was Xiao Huo's raging flames, one was the Dragonfire technique, and the last one was the Golden Crow's flames.
Previously, Lin Jin had used each of the three flames separately. Now, he had a sudden inspiration which was why he had written down this Edict Fire Talisman.
Xiao Xiao Lin Xiao God knows, the was, the Xiao Jin had said. Jin, Xiao Jin, "Song" Xiao, "God, Jin was to Xiao.
From an outsider's point of view, the Curator was using a fire spell to help the phoenix reach Nirvana. Zhao Jingyan thought so too so she quickly bowed.
In fact, Lin Jin wasn't just helping her but himself as well. He hoped that during the phoenix's Nirvana, the three types of flames could be fused into one. When the time came, a new flame might be born that could help him and Xiao Huo.
Especially Xiao Huo.
Nirvana might be the catalyst for Xiao Huo's next evolution.
Xiao Huo was different from other pet beasts. He was different because he was Lin Jin's pet beast. Hence, Lin Jin tried his best to help Xiao Huo evolve perfectly. Only then could he make up for Xiao Huo's innate deficiencies.
For Xiao Huo, who was already Rank 4, to continue his perfect evolution, he would need a special type of unusual flame. Lin Jin's Dragonfire was clearly lacking and he hadn't mastered the phoenix and Golden Crow flames yet. Now that Zhao Jingyan wanted to help her pet beast rise from the ashes, Lin Jin would be helping her with three types of flames. Helping others was helping himself, so why not?
Having received the Curator's advice and guidance, Zhao Jingyan was obviously satisfied.
She had initially despaired, but after arriving at this visitor's hall, her confidence was reignited.
In fact, there was one thing she didn't tell anyone.
She couldn't stay at Phoenix Palace any longer. At least for now, she didn't dare to show herself. If she did, she would be hunted down by Phoenix Palace's traitors. Hence, she escaped long ago.
She had been concealing her identity all this time. The world was vast but she didn't know where to go.
When she heard that the Curator had a disciple in the Jade Dragon Kingdom, she gave it some thought. From that day onward, she headed there.
She wanted to meet the Curator.
If she couldn't find the Curator, she could look for his disciple. If she followed his disciple, she would definitely be able to meet the Curator.
Especially after confirming that she needed to find a place with an unusual flame, Zhao Jingyan thought of a place.
That place was within the Jade Dragon Kingdom. After all, Zhao Jingyan used to be the great commander of Phoenix Palace so she knew many secrets. Hence, she made up her mind to go to the Jade Dragon Kingdom.
She didn't share this thought with anyone else. Zhao Jingyan had a stubborn personality. Once she set her mind on something, no matter if it was right or wrong, she would stick to it until the very end.
After answering Zhao Jingyan's questions, Lin Jin moved on to the real topic.
To collect information on the 'Daolord'.
Lin Jin could leave this task to the visitors of the Visitation Hall. Since they came from different regions, forces, and backgrounds, they would be able to gather more information.
Now, Lin Jin needed to cast a wide net.
"Everyone, I need all information on the Daolord. Also, if you have any books, cultivation techniques, or artifacts related to the Daolord, you can give them to me as well. I promise you that I will reward you well," Lin Jin said.
The Daolord!
Most of the people here had obviously heard of him before. There were also those who weren't familiar with him like He Qing and Old Tian.
One of them lived in the palace all year round and knew little about the outside world. The other was from an ordinary family who lived in a remote mountainous area. Although they were thieves and bandits in name, they had never entered the circle of evil.
Besides these two, the others knew quite a lot.
Black Crow was the first to speak up. "The Curator wants to know about the Daolord? This Daolord was a character from hundreds of years ago. He was a powerful expert back then. Right, the Daolord also liked to wear masks and his skills were incredible. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the world's number one expert back then. But after a hundred years, he disappeared without a trace. He must have fallen … "
"I once heard that the Daolord single-handedly defeated dozens of villainous experts several hundred years ago, unifying the community. Most of the rules in the community were set during the Daolord's era and are still in use today. For example, the villainous newspaper was invented by the Daolord," Madam Ghost Child added.
At the mention of the word 'newspaper', Lin Jin was shocked under the mask.
Ye Yuzhou said, "Among my books, there's a biography about the Daolord. It's said to have been written and organized by a villainous expert but I don't have it with me."
"Old Ye, just send it to my disciple tomorrow morning," Lin Jin instructed. Glad to hear that there was a biography, Ye Yuzhou nodded.
Ye Yuzhou nodded.
Phantom Thief Jiang Ziqi gave it some thought before saying, "I heard that the Daolord's beast-taming skills are unparalleled. I wonder if that's true."
