After waiting for two more days, there was finally some movement from the Small Book Pavilion.
She was awake.
She stretched out her arms and covered her lips as she yawned.
However, Lin Jin didn't have the time to admire this picturesque beauty. He pulled Shu Xiao Lou up. "Shu Xiao Lou, you're awake?"
As he spoke, he shook her.
Shu Xiao Lou was jolted awake by Lin Jin's shaking.
"Lin Jin, why are you shaking me?" Shu Xiao Lou's eyes were glazed over in confusion.
Come to think of it, for the past two days, many mysterious scenes had appeared around Shu Xiao Lou.
Other than the red and green auras that kept gushing out of her body, the room was filled with all sorts of illusions. This was also why Lin Jin didn't dare to wake her up.
Now that Shu Xiao Lou was awake, Lin Jin couldn't wait any longer.
"I'll help you wake up!" Without another word, Lin Jin used his water reservoir armor to condense a ball of cooling water vapor and slapped it on Shu Xiao Lou's face.
This time, Shu Xiao Lou was completely awake.
Her first reaction was to get angry.
"You slap me and I'll slap you back!" Having said that, Shu Xiao Lou raised her hand and pushed. Lin Jin felt a strong force and his body fell backward. To his surprise, it felt like he was falling from the sky.
Taking a closer look, Lin Jin realized that he really was falling from the sky. About a thousand feet below him was a vast ocean.
"Come here, cloud!" Lin Jin immediately beckoned for the cloud to stabilize himself.
He looked around. Other than the vast ocean, there was also land and mountains in the distance. Birds flew across the sky and colorful clouds filled the sky. This clearly wasn't his Peach Blossom Abode.
Lin Jin knew that Shu Xiao Lou must have mastered a new supernatural skill after her cultivation improved after sleeping for a few days.
Looking at the colorful scene, this was probably some kind of art world.
"Shu Xiao Lou was able to push me into the painting world?" Lin Jin was truly shocked this time.
In the past, Shu Xiao Lou didn't have this ability.
However, while an art world could trap others, it couldn't trap oneself.
Strictly speaking, Lin Jin was the bane of all art worlds.
The reason was that he alone had mastered fire amulets that combined multiple flames. One Vulcan Edict was enough to burn down any art world, including Shu Xiao Lou's dispel.
This was the natural enemy effect.
Of course, Lin Jin wouldn't ruin Little Book's art world. Little Book had brought him here mainly to show off and showcase his talents.
Lin Jin could tell that.
Sure enough, not long after, Shu Xiao Lou appeared and hovered in midair.
"Lin Jin, what do you think of this place?" Shu Xiao Lou boasted.
"Why is it all water?" Lin Jin didn't praise him. Sure enough, with a wave of Shu Xiaolou's hand, the scenery around them changed. The vast ocean was gone, replaced by mountains and clear waters. Birds were chirping and flowers were blooming. There were also pavilions and terraces everywhere. It was like a fairyland out of a painting.
"Not bad this time. How's your painting world?" Lin Jin knew that if he didn't praise her, Shu Xiao Lou would flip out. Hence, his strategy was to suppress first then praise, belittle first then praise.
Shu Xiao Lou looked pleased. "Not bad, but this isn't an ordinary art world. I gained a lot from that painting the last time we met. Now that I've obtained the soul of the painting spirit, I've used this power to modify my art world. As long as I touch anything, be it human, beast, monster, or ghost, I can forcefully pull them into my art world. Here, I can borrow the art world's power to deal with powerful enemies. Just like this …"
As she spoke, Shu Xiao Lou waved her hand again. In an instant, the weather changed. A moment ago, it was filled with chirping birds and the fragrance of flowers. In the blink of an eye, a thunderstorm descended. Then, a bolt of lightning struck Lin Jin.
"Are you for real?" Lin Jin was startled but he didn't move. Shu Xiao Lou was clearly trying to scare him. Sure enough, the lightning soon disappeared. Shu Xiao Lou looked bored as she threatened, "Next time, I'll really strike you to death."
Lin Jin acted as if he didn't hear her. Now that Shu Xiao Lou had woken up and seemed to have grown stronger, it was a good thing. Hence, Lin Jin couldn't wait to drag Shu Xiao Lou along to see if she could enter the Visitation Hall through Qiankun Ink.
Upon hearing that Lin Jin needed help, Shu Xiao Lou was very enthusiastic. However, what came next left Lin Jin disappointed.
Even Shu Xiao Lou's Qiankun Ink couldn't enter the Visitation Hall.
This was different from what Lin Jin expected.
The Visitation Hall's rules were clearly stricter. Other than him, others could only enter with a visitor's wooden token. Bringing someone in through a spell was impossible.
Lin Jin pondered for a long time. Did he have to wait until the next time the Visitation Hall opened and ask for Zhao Jingyan's help?
But Lin Jin didn't want to wait any longer.
His instincts told him that if he delayed this matter any longer, it would lead to a disaster.
Fortunately, Shu Xiao Lou said, "Since you want me to help you deal with an evil creature, you can bring it out if I can't enter."
This was another way of thinking.
Lin Jin was stunned. He hadn't thought about this before, but after Shu Xiao Lou's reminder, Lin Jin pondered and felt that this was a plausible idea.
"I'll give you an ink seal. When the time comes, you just need to place the ink seal on the evil creature's body and I'll be able to pull it into my painting world." Shu Xiao Lou's method might really work.
Lin Jin decided to give it a try.
With a flip of Shu Xiao Lou's hand, a circular ink seal appeared on her palm. It looked like a black coin.
"Cast this on that evil creature and I'll be able to pull it into my painting realm," Shu Xiao Lou said confidently.
After some thought, Lin Jin told Shu Xiao Lou that the evil creature was most likely a zombie.
He didn't say it was a zombie beast because Lin Jin saw a human hand instead of a beast's claw.
Shu Xiao Lou was stunned.
"Zombie? An evil creature formed from the aura of death? That's rare. Many years ago, I came across a zombie tiger beast and coincidentally saw a Taoist fighting it so I went over to help. It took a lot of effort for the both of us to kill it. I cut off one of its claws and the Taoist gave me a talisman to suppress it. I then brought it back to the academy and stored it in the Beast Appraisal Pavilion. I just don't know if the zombie you mentioned is the same type of evil as the zombie tiger beast. If it is, then it'll be troublesome. "Shu Xiao Lou's expression was solemn, with no trace of his usual playfulness.
Lin Jin could attest to this.
Both were the same type of evil creature, but one was a human while the other was a beast.
"Are you really going to do it?" Shu Xiao Lou asked tentatively. It was obvious that she was trying to tell Lin Jin not to provoke that creature unless it was necessary.
Lin Jin nodded.
There was no room for negotiation. Since it was related to the Visitation Hall, it was related to the Museum of Deadly Beasts. How could Lin Jin pretend he didn't see it?
For the sake of the Visitation Hall's safety, he had to get the evil zombie out of door number three.
