The giant was crimson in color and draped in a large crimson robe. It looked as if it was carved out of blood-colored amber. At the sight of this, Lin Jin's pupils dilated. He knew that this must be Patriarch Xue Pao's true form.
The color of blood was murky but transparent. Lin Jin could see a figure sitting cross-legged in the giant's chest.
This figure seemed to be wearing a Taoist robe. His eyes were closed and he was probably dead. However, there was a faint trace of immortal energy emanating from him.
At this, Lin Jin knew that what Patriarch Xue Pao had said was true.
For example, if an immortal's corpse was inserted into his body, if he didn't suppress it and hide, the immortal's energy would definitely leak out. When that happened, it would definitely provoke a Rank 9 immortal devouring beast.
It was no wonder Patriarch Xue Pao dared not come out.
Patriarch Xue Pao's psyche floated up, trying to return to his body. However, Lin Jin forcefully pulled it back with his needle.
"Curator, what are you doing?" Patriarch Xue Pao was anxious. His psyche was precious so he wanted to keep it safe as long as possible.
Moreover, now that they were in Patriarch Xue Pao's territory, this psyche was much more confident than before.
"There's no rush. I still prefer you like this. If your psyche returns to your body, I won't be used to it." Lin Jin smiled, unconcerned.
Having said that, he stepped forward and with a flick of his finger, a needle flew out and pierced into the blood giant's body.
In an instant, Patriarch Xue Pao's condition was recorded into the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
Unlike a clone, this was the real body's information.
Lin Jin mused, 'Damn it.'
Just as he expected, Patriarch Xue Pao was a Rank 7 monster.
Before this, Lin Jin had already deduced Patriarch Xue Pao's strength. After all, he was able to wreak havoc in the world back then so his strength shouldn't be underestimated. Lin Jin had speculated that the man was at least Rank 6 or above.
Now, it seemed like his guess was right.
How dangerous.
Lin Jin glanced at the immortal's corpse that seemed to be embedded in Patriarch Xue Pao's body, musing, 'Thank goodness this thing is suppressing it. Otherwise, if Patriarch Xue Pao were to show himself, there would probably be another bloodbath.'
In fact, almost no one in this world could match him.
A thousand years ago, there were still immortal corpses that could be used, but what about now?
Lin Jin pondered and made up his mind. No matter what, he couldn't bring out the immortal's corpse that was suppressing Patriarch Xue Pao's body.
In fact, Lin Jin felt a great sense of danger when he read the museum's evaluation of Patriarch Xue Pao.
Previously, when he encountered the Ninth Tier Immortal Devouring Beast, it was just a fleeting appearance. Moreover, he knew that as long as he did not become an Immortal, he would not attract the Immortal Devouring Beast.
However, Patriarch Xue Pao was different.
Now that the Rank 7 monster was right in front of him, Lin Jin realized that his two pet beasts were only Rank 5. They were clearly not enough.
'No, Xiao Huo and the ghost-blood beast must continue to evolve. They must reach Rank 6 at least. 'Lin Jin gritted his teeth. However, he didn't have the time for that now.
Fortunately, Lin Jin was wearing the curator's mask so no one could see his current expression. This was the advantage of wearing a mask. To outsiders, he looked calm and unfathomable.
"Curator, this is my body. You've seen the immortal's corpse for yourself. There's a seal on it that I can't break. I hope you can lend me a hand, Curator," Patriarch Xue Pao suddenly said.
At the same time, the blood giant's palm opened up slightly and rays of golden light shone out. Patriarch Xue Pao was obviously hiding a powerful artifact in his palm.
"If you can help me, I'll give this artifact to you, Curator." Patriarch Xue Pao threw out a bait. Lin Jin focused his gaze and saw a golden seal in Patriarch Xue Pao's palm.
The seal was golden in color as if it was forged from gold. On top was a qilin beast while below was a square seal.
Everything else aside, just the vibrant colors on its surface was enough to tell that it was no ordinary item.
"This is the Qilin Mountain Suppression Seal. It was passed down from an ancient immortal and possesses extraordinary power. Curator, you may take this as a token of appreciation." Patriarch Xue Pao looked pained as if this artifact was incredibly important.
Lin Jin had only taken a glance at it when Patriarch Xue Pao's palm closed. It seemed like the treasure wasn't going to be shown to anyone easily.
Admittedly, an immortal's artifact was indeed tempting.
However, Lin Jin wasn't an inexperienced person. He already had two, or rather, three artifacts in his possession.
One was the immortal binding rope, the other was the Four Seas Unfettered Gourd, and the last was the Breezy Sword.
Hence, Lin Jin wasn't particularly interested in the Qilin Mountain Suppression Seal.
Moreover, Lin Jin was almost certain that even if he helped Patriarch Xue Pao move the immortal's corpse, the man wouldn't give it to him as he had promised.
Moreover, Lin Jin had never intended to let Patriarch Xue Pao escape from this place.
So what if he was a Rank 7 monster?
If he had the ability to come out, he would have turned the world upside down. So if Lin Jin didn't make a move now, when would he?
Lin Jin flipped his palm over and several needles of different sizes appeared in his palm.
One of them was the Thunderfire Needle that Lin Jin had refined himself.
Most of the artifacts Lin Jin had on him were obtained by chance. He didn't refine many of them himself and the Thunderfire Needle was one of them.
It was the most powerful artifact Lin Jin had ever refined.
Tempered by Divine Thunder Fire, its power was astounding.
Now that Lin Jin had achieved some success in the Body Fortification and Spirit Refinement Needle, using the Thunderfire Needle was like adding wings to a tiger. Since the immortal's corpse inside the blood giant was the key, Lin Jin had to investigate it first. Lin Jin planned to use the Thunderfire Needle to probe the corpse.
With a flick of his finger, several needles including the Thunderfire Needle flew out and pierced into the blood giant's body before approaching the immortal's corpse.
Patriarch Xue Pao was also watching nervously, but there was a trace of inexplicable coldness in his eyes.
Finally, when the needles came into contact with the immortal's corpse, Lin Jin's expression changed.
"Curator, how is it?" Patriarch Xue Pao asked anxiously.
Lin Jin fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Lin Jin sighed and shook his head. "To tell you the truth, there's an extremely powerful seal on this immortal's corpse. Even I can't break it."
At this, Patriarch Xue Pao was visibly disappointed.
"Is there really nothing we can do?" Patriarch Xue Pao asked again. Lin Jin shook his head. "There's nothing we can do. This seal is vast and boundless. It's impossible to move the corpse with our strength."
This time, Lin Jin was resolute. Patriarch Xue Pao fell silent.
Obviously, this was definitely not good news for him.
After a moment, Patriarch Xue Pao let out a long sigh. "This is fate. Alright, I admit defeat."
Having said that, he turned to the 'Curator'. But this time, Patriarch Xue Pao's eyes were no longer as polite and amiable as before. Instead, they were filled with malevolence.
"Since you can't help, I won't keep you any longer!"
Just as he said that, something unexpected happened.
A sharp aura descended from the sky, aiming for Lin Jin's head. At the same time, several withered arms suddenly reached out from the ground beneath Lin Jin's feet, grabbing onto his feet.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Jin was in mortal danger.
