There was an introduction to the Six Paths Beasts in Daolord's Divine Scroll so Lin Jin knew that not all of them were human cultivators. There were also monsters.
There were two monster cultivators. One was Taoist Tiger and the other was Taoist Crane.
Lin Jin was right. Of the Six Beasts Daoist, Daoist Dragon had the highest cultivation level. However, Daoist Dragon was unlucky and died young.
And the one Daolord liked the most was Taoist Tiger.
Many people knew that Lin Jin had borrowed Daolord's Divine Scroll in Tianxuan City under the name of 'Curator' so there was no need for him to hide it. After some thought, he told Taoist Tiger.
"I, Curator Shi, have borrowed Daolord's Divine Scroll before. I learned about you Six Paths Beasts from Daolord's Divine Scroll," Lin Jin said.
Taoist Tiger's murderous aura had receded and he returned to his normal size as he approached Lin Jin.
As the saying went, 'If you can make friends, don't make enemies'. Taoist Tiger was the same.
What followed was a long conversation.
At first, they were wary of each other. After all, no one could trust the other so easily. But as they chatted, they realized they had an unexpected affinity for each other. When they were happy, they could even laugh heartily.
From afar, Huang Qi and the Yin Wind Flag Commander were dumbfounded. They had no idea what was going on.
How did the two who were about to kill each other start chatting as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years?
The rebellious flag commanders stood dumbfounded by the side. But no matter what, it seemed like it was a good thing that they didn't start fighting.
Lin Jin had always been a carefree person and Taoist Tiger was even more so. They got to know each other through a fight and their initial misunderstanding was cleared up.
It turned out that Taoist Tiger really didn't gather monsters to cause trouble. He was ambushed many years ago and was severely injured. Hence, he fled to Liangzhou.
This place was deserted and the environment was harsh. It was a good place to hide.
Back then, Daoist Hu had only found a place to hide and recuperate. Who would've thought that there would be so many demon beasts gathered here? Although Daoist Hu was heavily injured, he wasn't someone ordinary demon beasts could handle. He easily occupied the Black Wind Cave.
After that, Daoist Tiger spent most of his time in seclusion to heal his wounds and hide his aura. After a long time, the Black Wind Cave gradually grew in scale, and more and more demonic beasts came to join them. But then again, Daoist Tiger had never eaten humans before. Dao Monarch had already taught him the cultivation method and the method to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so Daoist Tiger didn't need to do that. So the demonic beasts in the Black Wind Cave eating humans was something that other demonic beasts did.
Of course, Daoist Tiger was aware of this, but he turned a blind eye to it.
Lin Jin said with a serious expression, "Let's not talk about the past. I plan to guide the monsters of the Black Wind Cave onto the right path and teach them the way of cultivation so that they can benefit the world."
Unexpectedly, Daoist Tiger nodded. "To tell you the truth, this was my plan as well. Back when my master was teaching me, he told me about this grand plan but he didn't manage to fulfill it. As for me, my old injuries have yet to heal and I've been focused on cultivating in seclusion all these years, I've neglected this matter."
Having said that, he added, "Since Mister Lin's master can read the Divine Scrolls, you can be considered to have inherited my master's legacy. With this, you and I are of the same lineage. Today is a beautiful day and we're having such a pleasant conversation. Why don't we become sworn brothers so we can help each other out in the future?"
Lin Jin was stunned.
He mused, 'This Daoist Tiger sure is something. His social skills are miles ahead of other Daoists.'
Speaking of which, they did have a pleasant conversation earlier. It felt like they regretted not meeting each other earlier. Moreover, Lin Jin had told him about Daoist Corpse and Daoist Ghost and Daoist Tiger shared a common enemy with him.
"Back then, I wasn't on good terms with Daoist Corpse and Daoist Ghost. Although they were humans, they were of low character. My master said the same thing back then but he was merciful and decided to give them a chance to turn over a new leaf. I didn't expect them to become even worse after all these years." Daoist Tiger looked enraged.
Especially after learning that Daoist Corpse had cultivated Daoist Dragon's pet beast into a zombie dragon, Daoist Tiger flew into a rage.
Among the six beasts, Daoist Tiger and Daoist Dragon had the best relationship. Back then, they were inseparable. Later on, Daoist Dragon mysteriously passed away due to an ominous reason. Now, it seemed like Daoist Corpse had something to do with it.
Just based on this, Daoist Tiger and Daoist Dragon had a common ground.
Since Daoist Tiger was so straightforward, Lin Jin didn't mince his words.
So be it in terms of status or strength, Daoist Tiger was top-notch. Also, after interacting with him, Lin Jin liked Daoist Tiger's personality. Daoist Tiger acted on his thoughts and spoke his mind. He was straightforward and didn't have any tricks up his sleeves.
Before they knew it, the sky had turned dark as they chatted.
"Brother Lin, Liangzhou is a desolate place and the wind is strong at night. Come, let's continue talking inside the cave." Daoist Tiger still hadn't had enough so he dragged Lin Jin into the cave.
Huang Qi, the Yin Wind Flag Master, and the others had no choice but to follow along. It was awkward to bump into other monsters.
Inside the Black Wind Cave, some of the stronger monsters who were knocked out by the poison pills were now standing up on their own. Although they were still a little dizzy, they were fine. Of course, more than half of the monsters still couldn't get up.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Dragging Lin Jin inside, Taoist Hu quickly asked, "Brother Lin, what did you do? It's so domineering. Even I felt dizzy when I breathed in that strange poisonous gas."
Lin Jin had a new plan in mind. Instead of answering immediately, he performed an acupuncture technique. With a flick of his wrist, hundreds of silver needles flew out and pierced the monsters' acupoints to detoxify them.
Moments later, the monsters on the ground got up again with expressions of surprise.
"It's just a small trick. It's not worth mentioning." Lin Jin chuckled dryly. Daoist Tiger didn't probe further. After giving his subordinates some instructions, he brought Lin Jin into a cave abode he had opened up himself.
Lin Jin nodded profusely after taking a look inside.
Daoist Tiger's cave abode wasn't bad. It was clearly augmented with a secret technique of heaven and earth. There was even a spirit gathering formation set up inside. It was obvious that this was an orthodox cultivation method.
Daoist Tiger brought over some aged wine and chatted with Lin Jin.
There were probably only a handful of people who could chat with Daoist Tiger, or maybe none at all. Hence, Daoist Tiger couldn't stop talking this time.
Lin Jin didn't find it boring. Daoist Tiger's stories were interesting too. When he mentioned Daoist Lord at the end, Daoist Tiger, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, started bawling.
"When I was a tiger cub in Nanshan, I almost lost my life in the mouth of a ferocious beast. It was Master who saved me, raised me, taught me Taoism, and helped me refine my Hyoid Bone and condense a human form. I didn't even have time to repay him before he left me. Heaven, why are you so heartless?"
Having said that, he gulped down another bowl of wine.
