"Curator has left?"
Feng Junwu was stunned. He clearly saw the curator saluting everyone and bidding them farewell. So he must have left.
Leaving as he pleased was truly the demeanor of an expert.
That was what Feng Junwu said as well.
Someone in the crowd grumbled, 'It really depends on the person. If you try to act cool without the ability, you'll be dragged away and executed.'
Hence, different people doing the same thing would result in vastly different outcomes.
Many people were clearly reluctant to see the curator leave. Some of them looked lost and most of them were teachers of the academy.
They wanted to seek the curator's advice. After all, there were some things that even they didn't understand.
"What a pity!" Zhong Zifeng muttered to himself.
Although the curator had left, his legend was destined to be passed down for some time.
Lin Jin sneaked back into the house after nightfall.
To avoid bumping into anyone else, he even used Camouflage. But while he could fool others, he couldn't fool Shu Xiao Lou.
Inside Peach Blossom Abode, Shu Xiao Lou was waiting for Lin Jin. Upon seeing him, he immediately dragged him into the house.
Feeling helpless, Lin Jin mused that he probably wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
Sure enough, Shu Xiao Lou bombarded him with questions the entire night. Fortunately, Lin Jin was prepared and easily answered all of his questions. In the end, he managed to deal with Shu Xiao Lou.
Now that Lin Jin was alone, he finally had time to carry out the next step of his plan.
He had already achieved both of his goals for coming to Merak.
One was to become a Rank 4 beast appraiser and the other was to borrow Daoist's Divine Scroll.
With that, there was no need for him to stay in Merak any longer. However, Lin Jin wouldn't leave just yet. Other places might not be safe, so he could cultivate the cultivation method left behind by the Daolord here and improve his strength to the next level.
After that, he would go look for some treasures left behind by Daoist Tan Xun. With this, Lin Jin was confident that he could kill a corpse cultivator the next time he encountered them alone.
There were many cultivation methods in Daoist Daoist's Divine Scroll and Lin Jin knew that some Daoists had never cultivated them before. As the saying went, don't bite off more than you can chew. Lin Jin had always adhered to this saying.
Strictly speaking, there were quite a number of cultivation methods and skills available but Lin Jin still felt like there were too many. He decided to only learn one or two and give up on the rest.
Only by focusing could one truly improve.
Lin Jin's first choice was the 'Five Elemental Armor'.
This was a defensive divine ability. After using it, the power of the five elements would gather around one's body and condense into armor. At the very least, it would be able to block a strike from an Immortal.
It was said that the reason why the Daolord was able to survive the attack of the Immortal Devouring Beast back then was because of the power of the Five Elements Armor.
This supernatural power had a total of five levels. Back then, Daolord had only cultivated up to the third level. Lin Jin figured that if Daolord could improve this Five Elemental Armor a little more, he might not even be injured.
It was a must to learn life-saving skills.
Other than that, Lin Jin also planned to learn an offensive skill.
As the saying went, there were ways to attack and defend.
The technique he chose was the Burning Heaven Palm.
The name was domineering, and it was indeed an extremely powerful divine ability. It was said that if this divine ability was cultivated to the extreme, one could cover the sky with a palm, burn the heaven and earth, and annihilate all life.
This was for the big picture. A smaller one would also be fine. A light palm strike could also be accompanied by a scorching hot palm force. Other than that, this divine ability was also a cultivation technique that could raise one's cultivation level and increase one's spirit energy.
Hence, Lin Jin didn't choose a cultivation technique on a whim. He did so after careful consideration.
He spent the rest of his time cultivating these two divine abilities.
Other than his regular lectures and teaching his students, Lin Jin spent the rest of his time cultivating. As a result, Peach Blossom Residence became much quieter than before.
Shang'er and Goldy had long been sent back by Lin Jin. He also brought back Senior Mo who had achieved some success in his cultivation. Even Little Library wouldn't disturb Lin Jin at times. She could tell that Lin Jin was cultivating his supernatural abilities. Although she had an eccentric personality, she wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish between priorities.
Instead, she would help Lin Jin avoid unnecessary social engagements. Even if it was Emperor Tianxuan's invitation, she would reject it outright.
Time passed quickly. Two months had passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was Emperor Tianxuan's birthday banquet. Head Steward Yan Quan had personally come to invite Lin Jin. This time, Lin Jin had to attend the banquet. It was also because he had achieved some success in cultivating these two divine abilities. While he might not have perfected them, he had at least laid a solid foundation and was now at the beginner level.
Lin Jin had cultivated up to the second level of the Five Elemental Armor. Of course, he still couldn't compare to the Daolord from back then. However, it was almost impossible for someone like the corpse cultivator to break through his protection.
Of the seven levels of Sky Scorching Palm, Lin Jin had cultivated it up to the third level.
This was his current limit. Even his own physique had improved a lot and was much stronger than it was two months ago.
Lin Jin wouldn't be able to improve any further in the near future so there wasn't much point in continuing his cultivation. After attending Emperor Tianxuan's birthday banquet, Lin Jin planned to leave.
Calculating the time, it had been three months since he came to Tianxuan Royal City.
During the banquet, Lin Jin, Feng Ziqian, and Princess Ruoli sat together, chatting and sipping wine. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, so Lin Jin took the opportunity to bid farewell to everyone.
Feng Ziqian already knew that Lin Jin would be leaving so he wasn't surprised. Emperor Tianxuan was just being courteous and said it was a pity that Curator wasn't coming.
Lin Jin smiled awkwardly.
'If Curator is here, I'll have to be absent. Moreover, Curator was in the limelight last time so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be here again. '
'So be it. '
The academy already knew of Lin Jin's three-month deadline so they didn't say much. However, both Zhong Zifeng and the teachers were visibly saddened. After all, they had worked together for three months and no one knew when they would meet again. Perhaps, they would never see each other again.
Lin Jin didn't leave immediately. He had to make a trip back to Peach Blossom Abode to pack up his belongings.
Inside Peach Blossom Abode, the large carp, white snake, crane, and falcon were completely different from how they were three months ago. Although they were at different realms, they were all initiated and possessed monster energy. Among them, the large carp's cultivation was the highest. After all, it had long cultivated its hyoid bone. During the past three months, Lin Jin had imparted knowledge to it during his free time and it had learned the most. Knowing that Lin Jin was leaving, the large carp leaped out of the pond for the first time and bowed while wagging its tail, bidding farewell.
Lin Jin quickly sent it back.
"The four of you can come here to cultivate. Although I won't be here anymore, Shu Xiao Lou will come back occasionally. Even if she doesn't, you four can learn from each other and improve your cultivation. Also, I've left some cultivation manuals in Peach Blossom Abode so that the large carp can read them to you. "
Lin Jin instructed.
There was one more reason for him to return to Peach Blossom Abode, and that was to bid farewell to Shu Xiao Lou.
Shu Xiao Lou didn't attend Emperor Tianxuan's birthday banquet.
She always had her own way of thinking. If Shu Xiao Lou wanted to do something, no one could stop her. If she didn't want to do something, begging her was useless.
Since this morning, Shu Xiao Lou had been avoiding Lin Jin.
She didn't want Lin Jin to leave and Lin Jin could tell that.
However, Lin Jin couldn't stay in Tianxuan City forever. Moreover, all good things must come to an end.
