However, he was the emperor of a premium country after all. Even if a landslide were to happen, he wouldn't show any signs of fear.
Lin Jin stood in the center of the formation, standing right in front of the butcher's knife. He greeted, "Greetings, Emperor Tian Xuan."
His bearing was impressive.
Feng Junwu said, "I've long heard of Curator's great name. Now that I've met you today, you truly live up to your reputation."
This opening wasn't creative at all. It was just average.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I believe my disciple, Lin Jin, has already told Your Majesty why I'm here. I would like to borrow Lord Daoist's Heavenly Tome." Lin Jin's tone was much more domineering. After all, he was the curator now and this was how he behaved.
Direct and domineering.
"That's right. Appraiser Lin has indeed told me about it, but …" Before Feng Junwu could finish, Lin Jin interrupted, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I won't be taking Lord Daoist's Heavenly Tome away. Also, I will certainly reward you accordingly. Whether it's for beast evaluation or treatment, you may request for it."
Lin Jin's tone was arrogant, but no one doubted his words since he was the curator.
Feng Junwu had wanted to raise some conditions but he didn't expect the curator to be so direct.
'You can be so arrogant just because you're strong. Who else would dare to say something like this in front of me? ' Feng Junwu grumbled inwardly. Truth be told, Curator had to be roped in. If they could be friends, they couldn't afford to be enemies.
A person who could invade Daluo Temple alone and was escorted down the mountain by Daluo Temple's abbot and other eminent monks was someone even the Heavenly Spiral Country wouldn't dare to provoke.
Borrowing Lord Daoist's Heavenly Tome wasn't a big deal.
However, this was a premium country after all. They couldn't just borrow Lord Daoist's Heavenly Tome on a whim. Even if it was for the sake of their reputation, they had to make the other party pay the same price.
At this, Feng Junwu smiled. "What do you have in exchange, Curator?"
Lin Jin already had a plan for this.
With a fling of his arm, he tossed something over to the throne.
It was a small pouch about the size of a palm. It was bulging and obviously filled with a lot of things.
"This is a pouch of beast food. It has its uses. In times of crisis, it can multiply the pet beast's strength. I think this should be enough," Lin Jin said nonchalantly.
What he gave out was naturally a small bag of Vigor Pills.
It was something produced by the Museum of Deadly Beasts' feed mill. This was the most common so Lin Jin didn't mind giving away a small bag. In his eyes, it was dispensable, but in the eyes of others, it was different.
What kind of person was Feng Junwu? He was very knowledgeable, but even he had never heard of this kind of beast food in this world. He didn't go to get it himself. The mysterious servant behind him went forward and picked up the bag. After opening it, he took out a Great Strength Pill and sniffed it. His eyes immediately flashed.
Her excitement didn't escape Lin Jin's observation.
The eunuch handed over the beast food in his hand and secretly winked at Feng Junwu.
Feng Junwu calmed down when he saw this.
There is no doubt that the thing given by the curator is a good thing. This has already been proven. In the Merak Imperial Palace, even Yan Quanquan didn't know that the person Feng Junwu trusted the most and relied on the most was this ordinary little internal official.
Only the Emperor, Feng Junwu, knew the identity of the Eunuch. No one else, not even the princes and ministers, knew about it.
Simply put, as long as the internal official nodded, Feng Junwu wouldn't suspect anything.
"Curator's generosity is enough to show his sincerity. Alright, in that case, I'll have someone fetch the Divine Book for you to take a look."
Having said that, Feng Junwu immediately arranged for someone to fetch it.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jin felt relieved.
No matter what, this matter was finally settled. As long as he could borrow Daolord's Divine Book, everything else didn't matter. Lin Jin was filled with anticipation. He hoped to see something valuable from Daolord's Heavenly Scroll, including his six disciples. After all, Lin Jin was sure that the corpse cultivators and the Demonic Appraisal Association would come to wreak havoc.
But before that, it would be good to know more about them.
After a long while, the internal official finally returned with a scroll. It was so huge that it had to be carried on a tray. Just the width of the scroll itself was over five feet.
It looked like a scroll prepared for a giant.
It was also very heavy, probably at least a few hundred catties. Yet, the internal official could carry it alone and come all the way here. This alone proved that he was no ordinary person.
Lin Jin knew this very well.
The internal official was a humanoid monster, probably at the peak of Rank 5. His original form wasn't simple either. Instead of a wild beast, he was an old black tortoise.
His abilities and cultivation level were definitely much higher than Shang'er's. Perhaps, this old black tortoise was the true guardian beast of Heavenly Spiral Country.
It was no wonder Emperor Heavenly Spiral would always seek the internal official's hints before anything else.
However, Lin Jin had no intention of pointing it out.
This was someone else's business. He just had to finish reading Daolord's Divine Book in the remaining time.
"Hahaha, Curator, this is Daolord's Divine Book. It's Heavenly Spiral's most valuable treasure. Curator, you can read it in this hall. You can even read it for a few days," Feng Junwu said with a smile.
Clearly, he had no intention of leaving.
What a joke.
This was Daolord's Divine Book. It wasn't that Feng Junwu was worried that Curator would snatch it away. He just wanted to know what was written inside.
This item had been in the vault for hundreds of years and no one had been able to understand the words written on it.
Feng Junwu knew very well what kind of person Daolord was. He was the world's number one expert several hundred years ago and no one could defeat him. However, Daolord had an eccentric personality and people knew very little about him. They didn't even know what Daolord looked like. All they knew was that he was wearing a mask with the word 'Dao'.
Just how eccentric was this Daolord?
The words he used were never seen before in this world. There were many things left behind by Daolord, but the problem was that Lin Jin couldn't understand most of them.
As Emperor Heavenly Spiral, Feng Junwu could gather talents from all over the world. He had tried to decipher Daolord's words before.
But none of his attempts succeeded.
In fact, when Lin Jin heard that Curator wanted to borrow Daolord's Divine Book, his first reaction was to wonder if Daolord could understand it.
However, Curator never raised any questions about whether Daolord could understand it. It was as if Daolord could. Although Feng Junwu was curious, he didn't ask.
Whether or not Daolord could understand it, he would find out soon enough.
By then, Daolord's Divine Book was placed in front of him. He was excited.
One of his goals for coming to Heavenly Spiral Nation was to become a Rank 4 beast appraiser, which he had achieved. The other goal was to borrow Daolord's Divine Book.
Now, Daolord's Divine Book was right in front of him.
How could he not be excited?
