Patriarch Xue Pao mentioned traces of immortals but never mentioned the fall of immortals. In other words, this old demon knew that immortals still existed in this world.
Truth be told, if this was a few days ago, Lin Jin would have been curious.
But not anymore.
Back in the Visitation Hall, Lin Jin had met Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong with his own eyes. He also learned about the current situation in the foreign lands from them.
Hence, Lin Jin already knew many of the secrets of immortality. Patriarch Xue Pao was still trying to fool him with something he already knew. Of course, it was useless.
However, Lin Jin was still curious.
He was curious how Patriarch Xue Pao knew about these things.
"Of course I know. I know even more secrets." Patriarch Xue Pao was brimming with confidence. He hoped that 'Curator' would continue asking him questions. This way, he would be able to take the initiative and achieve his goal step by step.
However, to Patriarch Xue Pao's surprise, 'Curator' didn't ask any more questions. It seemed like he wasn't interested in this at all.
Patriarch Xue Pao was shocked. His rhythm was thrown off.
He mused, 'That's impossible. No expert in this world can resist the temptation of immortality. Why isn't this' Curator 'playing by the rules?'
Patriarch Xue Pao, who was a little flustered, immediately composed himself and took the initiative to speak. "Curator, I can see that although your cultivation level is high and your abilities are extensive, you have yet to reach the immortal realm. If you promise me one thing, I will give you an Immortal Dao opportunity and help you become immortal."
This could be considered as a naked temptation.
No one could resist the chance to become immortal. Who didn't know how great immortals were? Immortals were immortal, possessed supernatural powers, and were free to roam the world.
Lin Jin chuckled. "What's so great about being an immortal? I'm not interested."
Indeed, he wasn't interested.
With a Rank 9 immortal devouring beast around, becoming immortals was suicidal. A Daolord was a living example. No matter how powerful a human was, it was meaningless if they couldn't defeat a Rank 9 immortal devouring beast.
'Curator ''s answer clearly shocked Patriarch Xue Pao.
For a moment, Patriarch Xue Pao didn't know what to say and fell into silence.
"If you have nothing to say, then there's no need to keep you." Lin Jin broke the silence. Invoking a spell, the spirit refining needle began approaching. Patriarch Xue Pao's psyche immediately sensed danger.
"Wait a minute, Curator, if you're not interested in becoming an immortal, then … then do you know that there are still immortals in this world? If you promise me one thing, I can tell you where the immortals live in seclusion."
It was another bombshell. Had it been a few days ago, Lin Jin would definitely be curious to know the answer.
But now, Lin Jin was sure that Patriarch Xue Pao was referring to an extraterrestrial land.
Since he already knew, he naturally wasn't interested.
"Not interested." With a flick of his finger, Lin Jin's spirit refinement needle forced Patriarch Bloodbubble's bloody face to contort.
"Don't! Hold on!" Patriarch Xue Pao was getting anxious.
This was completely out of his expectations. Even this news couldn't move the curator? He couldn't believe what the curator was interested in.
Or could it be that the Curator already knew about these things?
At this thought, Patriarch Xue Pao's heart skipped a beat.
His imagination ran wild as he suddenly thought of a possibility. Patriarch Xue Pao had been observing this world for hundreds of years so he knew a lot of things. However, this' curator's' sudden rise was an accident. It was as if he was a character who came out of nowhere, an expert who rose overnight.
This didn't make sense.
Moreover, the curator wasn't interested in the existence of immortals at all. This made Patriarch Xue Pao think of another possibility.
Patriarch Xue Pao asked tentatively with a shaky voice, "Could it be that the curator is from the black mountain …"
This sentence was a little more tentative.
Lin Jin immediately knew what was going on. A series of thoughts flashed through his mind before he said, "There are nine mountains in the extraterrestrial land. The black mountain is nothing."
At this, Patriarch Xue Pao couldn't even hide the shock on his face. No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, it was useless.
"You … you …"
Patriarch Xue Pao was already stuttering in shock.
Deep down, Lin Jin knew that his attempt to trick Patriarch Xue Pao had worked.
Moments later, as if coming back to his senses, Patriarch Xue Pao quickly said, "I must have been blind. So the curator is from the extraterrestrial land. No wonder, no wonder."
After a pause, he quickly asked, "May I know which sect Curator belongs to?"
This question obviously wasn't a problem for Lin Jin. He recalled Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong's sects in the Visitation Hall. Among them, Xuan Dao Sect was definitely one of the largest sects in the immortal realm with a long history. It wouldn't be a problem to use them to boost their reputation.
At this, Lin Jin asked, "Have you heard of the Xuan Dao Immortal Sect?"
"Ah!"
Patriarch Xue Pao's blood-red face wavered. He was obviously 'shocked' by this question.
"So the curator is from the Xuan Dao Immortal Sect." Patriarch Xue Pao's voice was much softer this time. He even seemed to be speaking in a humble manner.
Best of all, he was acting this way willingly. Other than that, there was also a hint of fawning and fear in his voice. His tone and attitude were completely different from before.
"I was once tutored by Xuan Dao Sect's Spiritual Master Miao Yan so I can be considered half a disciple of the great master. Now, Curator, you and I can be considered half a fellow disciple," Patriarch Xue Pao said in a friendly tone.
'He really got something out of me. '
Lin Jin muttered inwardly.
Of course, on the surface, Lin Jin didn't show any reaction, nor did he ask any questions. After all, Lin Jin didn't know anything about that Spiritual Master Miao Yan of the Xuan Dao Immortal Sect, nor did he know the details. If he spoke too much about this, he would definitely give himself away.
On the other hand, Patriarch Xue Pao looked excited.
"Curator, let's forget about the grudge between me and your disciple. Not only will I not pursue the matter, but I'll also reward him greatly. However, I'll need a small favor from you, Curator."
Perhaps feeling that they were closer now, Patriarch Xue Pao revealed the purpose of his visit.
He had tried his best to subdue Hu Yuzhen and came to Black Wind Monster Sect for this matter.
After listening carefully, Lin Jin finally understood what was going on.
Patriarch Xue Pao needed Curator's help to move something from his hideout. It sounded simple, but even an idiot would know that it wasn't as easy as Patriarch Xue Pao made it sound.
Move something?
Who couldn't move something? Why did he have to ask Curator for help?
Besides, with Patriarch Xue Pao's skills, it wasn't difficult for him to create a clone. If it was something ordinary, he would have done it himself. Why would he need someone else's help?
Everything else aside, if Patriarch Xue Pao could subdue Hu Yuzhen, he could control Hu Yuzhen or anyone else.
