Lin Jin had long wanted to say this to Shu Xiaolou but never had the chance. Now that he thought of it, he decided to.
After all, Mr. Zhong was a decent person. Even if it was for his sake, Lin Jin felt that he should say this. It was also because no one else dared to say this to Shu Xiaolou except himself.
"Promotion to Rank 6?" Shu Xiaolou didn't seem to mind. "What's the point of that? But since you're the one who suggested it, I'll consider it."
"What's there to consider? It's decided." Lin Jin could still make some decisions for Shu Xiaolou, even if he had to force her to do so.
"Alright, but I want Curator to perform the ceremony for me!" Shu Xiaolou began negotiating.
Lin Jin was stunned.
Then, he came to a realization.
A ceremony wasn't a trivial matter but it was necessary. In this day and age, the only person who could surpass Shu Xiaolou in beast appraising was' Curator '.
In this case, the only person who was qualified to give such a ceremony to the Small Book Pavilion was the Curator.
This wasn't a big deal to Lin Jin. After all, he was the 'Curator'. Hence, he readily agreed. "I can assure you of my master's condition now. Let's set a time and I'll call my master over." Lin Jin nodded.
After Lin Jin said this, Xiao Lou no longer had any meaning to it, so the matter was settled.
It would be set for three months from now.
Having said that, Lin Jin activated Cosmos Ink and left the painting world with Taoist Hu.
Back in Black Wind Cave, Taoist Hu had just gotten rid of his corpse energy so he needed to recuperate in seclusion to recover the energy he had lost over the years. Lin Jin also had to teach Breezy Monster the Divine Sword.
Lin Jin was looking forward to it.
As for the Five Palms Landscape Cult, Lin Jin wasn't in a hurry. The Four Seas Freedom Gourd had been there for centuries so a few more days wouldn't matter. Moreover, Lin Jin was now doubtful of Taoist Hu's evaluation of Water God Cult.
Taoist Hu said that Water God Cult was a motley crew but was that really the case?
To be able to operate in Liangzhou for centuries meant that they were capable. Even so, Lin Jin couldn't let his guard down.
Taoist Hu's cave abode wasn't small so Lin Jin took up an entire room. He removed Breezy Monster and placed it on the stone table before sitting down cross-legged to recite the Divine Sword Steps.
After reciting it once, Lin Jin paused for a moment to observe the Breezy Monster Sword. The sword that had been motionless at first began to tremble as if it was reacting to extreme excitement.
Lin Jin smiled.
That was right. Even someone like him, who did not care much about the way of the sword, was immediately attracted by the contents of the Heavenly Dao Sword Invitation when he first saw it. If he was already like this, then there was no need to mention a Sword Spirit.
To use an analogy, it was like a tiger that had grown up in a temple and was eating meat for the first time.
It of to be.
Right now, the Clear Wind Demon Sword was like this. In fact, it was even more inferior.
In the next instant, a silhouette emerged from the blade. It was the Flag Master from before. The Flag Master looked incredibly excited as he prostrated himself at the sight of Lin Jin.
Seeing this, Lin Jin began to explain his understanding of the Divine Sword Steps.
These were some of Lin Jin's personal knowledge. After all, he had cultivated and studied the steps himself so he had more or less gained some insights. These insights would definitely help the Breezy Monster avoid detours.
This time, Lin Jin explained in great detail. It took him several hours to explain his understanding and insights. The Breezy Monster listened attentively throughout the process.
Then, the Breezy Monster's shadow bowed at Lin Jin before turning into a stream of light and returning to the sword. Then, a layer of light appeared on the Monster Sword. It floated like a cloud, yet also resembled a colorful sunset. It was a mystical sight to behold.
Lin Jin knew that the Breezy Sword was probably digesting the contents of the Divine Sword Scroll. Now that he thought about it, teaching the Breezy Sword the Divine Sword Scroll was a wise decision and it would definitely be effective. But how effective was it, Lin Jin wasn't sure.
Without disturbing the Breezy Monster from studying the Divine Sword Steps, Lin Jin began to wander around Protector Hu's cave. Noticing that Lin Jin had come out of seclusion, Protector Hu came out as well.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin, it's all thanks to you this time. It's been centuries and this is the first time I've felt so relaxed." After a round of recovery, Protector Hu was in high spirits as if he had been reborn.
Being tormented by corpse energy for centuries wasn't a comfortable experience. Fortunately, Protector Hu was strong enough to last this long. Had it been anyone else, they would have been turned into a zombie by now.
Lin Jin went over to take a look at Protector Hu. Not bad. Protector Hu had fully recovered. There was no corpse energy left in his body and the wound on his back had healed completely.
Although it was no longer a big problem, Daoist Hu's losses were still quite large. Over the past few hundred years, his cultivation had not progressed much. It was still the same as before. From what Lin Jin could tell, Protector Hu was probably the weakest among the six beasts Lin Jin had ever met.
He might even be weaker than the insect beastmaster Lin Jin met at the beginning.
However, given Daoist Tiger's talent, his strength would rise in the future.
There was no need for Lin Jin to tell Protector Hu about this. Lin Jin suggested that they stay in Black Wind Cave and gather the monsters together.
When Lin Jin and Protector Hu appeared, the monsters in Black Wind Cave immediately bowed in unison.
This included the monsters who had pledged allegiance to Lin Jin.
Protector Hu was a straightforward person. When Lin Jin said he wanted to gather the monsters and guide them onto the right path, Protector Hu took it seriously. Speaking of all these years, Daoist Hu didn't manage the demonic beasts in the cave, and he felt quite ashamed. At the same time, he knew that his personality was free and unrestrained, and he wasn't suited to rule the Black Wind Cave. All these years, he had been a hands-off shopkeeper. The matters of the cave were all handled by the Clear Wind Flag Master and the Fierce Wind Flag Master, his two right-hand men.
This time, after recovering from his injuries, Daoist Hu planned to give up his position completely. After all, he still had a lot of things to do, one of which was to find Corpse Dao for revenge. This was the most important thing that Daoist Hu would do next.
After summoning all the monsters, Protector Hu announced that he was giving up the position of cave master to Lin Jin.
It was simple, straightforward, and it only took one sentence.
"Greetings, new cave master!" A monster with quick reflexes immediately went up to greet Lin Jin.
With a monster taking the lead, the others followed suit, scrambling to be first.
It was done!
It was even easier than Lin Jin expected. This was all thanks to Protector Hu. According to Protector Hu, most of the monsters in Black Wind Cave had cultivated into monsters so their loyalty wasn't a problem. However, just to be safe, Lin Jin chose a dozen or so flag beasts with the best qualifications and fed them the monster sealing pill before teaching them the orthodox Beast Energy Formation.
