Lin Jin was startled. However, he had weathered many storms so he could keep his composure. As he held the bloody hand, there was a commotion inside the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
The color of blood filled the air and Lin Jin could see the current status of the ghost-blood beast.
"Rank 6 ghost-blood beast."
"A rare beast of the five elements …"
"Can form a clone, seal a barrier, and transform at will!"
"There are two evolution methods, which are …"
Lin Jin took a deep breath. After this ghost-blood beast evolved to Rank 6, its strength had increased tremendously. It even had a few more supernatural powers.
Reaching out, Lin Jin pulled a person out of the blood pool.
This person looked exactly like Lin Jin. Other than being covered in blood, there was no difference.
Lin Jin immediately knew that this was one of the Rank 6 ghost-blood beasts' supernatural powers, the ability to form a clone.
Just like Patriarch Xue Pao, who couldn't move his body, he could use a clone to fight his enemies. In the future, Lin Jin could do the same and this clone would be no weaker. To put it bluntly, this clone was much stronger than Lin Jin without any magical equipment to protect himself.
After pulling this blood beast clone out, Lin Jin noticed that the blood in the pool hadn't dried up. It had only been reduced by half.
This made Lin Jin's heart skip a beat.
Clearly, even if the Rank 6 ghost-blood beast created a clone, it would still have enough energy to protect Lin Jin.
In terms of practicality, this Rank 6 ghost-blood beast had surpassed Xiao Huo. It could attack and defend, and it could even create a barrier. However, after giving it some thought, Lin Jin calmed down.
The ghost-blood beast was indeed powerful and its evolution to Rank 6 was surprisingly smooth. That was because it had obtained the cultivation of Patriarch Xue Pao's clone.
It would be much more difficult for the ghost-blood beast to evolve in the future.
Lin Jin saw that there were only two evolution methods for the ghost-blood beast. One was to gather all sorts of treasures that Lin Jin had never heard of before and place the ghost-blood beast into the body of a Rank 6 pet beast to absorb its soul essence. Only then would there be a fifty percent chance of evolution.
The other method was to devour Patriarch Xue Pao.
To Lin Jin, neither of these methods were easy. For the first method, just gathering the necessary resources was already challenging enough. Success might not even be possible even after a few hundred years. Moreover, finding a Rank 6 pet beast to devour was no easy feat either.
However, the second option was within Lin Jin's scope of consideration.
But the problem was, the rarer an exotic beast was, especially one like the Ghost-Blood Beast, which was an anomaly even among rare exotic beasts, the harder it was to advance.
Even if he devoured Patriarch Xue Pao in the future, Lin Jin reckoned that the Spectral Blood Beast would only evolve to Rank 7.
For a Rank 7 ghost-blood beast to reach Patriarch Xue Pao's level, it was considered quite impressive. However, if Lin Jin were to compare it to a Rank 9 immortal devourer, it wouldn't stand a chance.
The Dao Lord had said that the only way to resist the Ninth Stage Immortal Devouring Beast was to have a ferocious beast that had also reached the Ninth Stage.
There must be a way for a Devil-Blood Beast to ascend to rank nine, but it would be an extremely difficult path. On the other hand, Xiao Huo was the most ordinary fire wolf beast to begin with. It was very difficult for him to level up in the beginning, but at the same time, once he reached a higher level, it would be slightly easier for him to advance further than the other ghost-blood beasts.
Of course, this was only relatively speaking. If Xiao Huo really wanted to advance to the ninth rank, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. However, the difficulty of the Ghost-Blood Beast's advancement was even greater. It was hellish.
With this in mind, Lin Jin knew that he had to focus his attention back on Xiao Huo.
Lin Jin immediately absorbed the remaining ghost-blood beasts in the blood pond into his body before releasing Xiao Huo. A ball of flames flew out and coalesced into the little fire wolf beast's appearance. It looked around curiously.
Lin Jin reached out to pat Xiao Huo on the head. As he read the evolution method provided by the museum, he began to devise a plan.
Now that the ghost-blood beast was Rank 6, Lin Jin would have to depend on Patriarch Xue Pao for the next step.
In Lin Jin's eyes, Patriarch Xue Pao was merely a stepping stone for the ghost-blood beast.
Xiao Huo needed to advance to Rank 6 as soon as possible.
A Rank 6 beast was equivalent to an immortal. In other words, it was like a human trying to ascend to immortality. Lin Jin had already chosen one of the evolution methods provided by the museum. However, he needed some rare materials and crystals.
Phoenix feather and nine suns crystal.
Currently, Lin Jin didn't have these two items. However, he wasn't in a hurry to obtain the phoenix feather. With Zhao Jingyan around, he could just ask for some in the Visitation Hall when he needed them.
The nine suns crystal, on the other hand, was a little troublesome.
Lin Jin flipped through various books but he couldn't find a single word about the nine suns crystal. If there were any clues, Lin Jin believed that he wouldn't even frown if he had to travel thousands of miles to find it. At most, he would just visit a few more places.
However, if he couldn't even find a trace of the item and its origin was unknown, then that would be troublesome.
Fortunately, Lin Jin thought of a possibility.
Perhaps the nine suns crystal wasn't a natural product but a man-made creation.
So in this world, what kind of artificer would Lin Jin be blind to?
The answer was already obvious.
Immortals.
Of course, these were just Lin Jin's guesses. Whether or not it was true was another matter. Still, it was a possibility. Lin Jin planned to ask the two immortal visitors in detail the next time the Visitation Hall opened.
Calculating the time, it was almost time for the next opening of the Visitation Hall. Hence, Lin Jin spent the next few days at the border of Grassy Continent, stabilizing the ghost-blood beast's condition and familiarizing himself with the Rank 6 ghost-blood beast's supernatural powers while waiting for the Visitation Hall to open.
Studying the ghost-blood beast was easy to immerse oneself in. Once immersed, one would easily forget the passage of time. It wasn't until nightfall when the Visitation Hall's doors opened that Lin Jin snapped out of his daze.
Several days had passed since he was immersed in his study and he didn't even realize it.
For the past few days, Lin Jin hadn't had a single drop of water or food. Yet, he didn't feel the slightest bit tired. His stamina and spirit weren't exhausted at all.
Lin Jin knew that this was partly due to the improvement in his cultivation and partly due to the enhancement provided by the ghost-blood beast.
Enhancing one's physique was one of the ghost-blood beasts' supernatural powers.
Now that Lin Jin had a better understanding of the evolved ghost-blood beast, he put it aside for now and entered the Visitation Hall's doors.
Inside the Visitation Hall, many visitors arrived earlier than the last.
Those who arrived early were already greeting one another. Other than the two immortal-level newcomers, the others were familiar with each other and chatted casually. If one were to listen closely, they could hear that they were discussing the Black Wind Monster Sect.
Feng Ziqian and a few other visitors had personally attended the sect's opening ceremony so they obviously had something to talk about. As for the visitors who couldn't attend, they were all filled with regret.
"Monsters have always been difficult to tame. Most of them are bloodthirsty and brutal. If there's anyone in this world who can restrain monsters and teach them manners, I think that person is none other than the Curator," Ye Yuzhou said casually.
It was obvious that Ye Yuzhou did not have a good impression of demon beasts. After all, given his position and his past experiences, he had never seen any kind demon beasts. Therefore, when he found out that the curator had established a demon cultivation sect to educate the demon beasts, Ye Yuzhou was extremely impressed.
Just thinking about it, it was hard to imagine how those wild and untamed monsters could behave like humans, being educated and well-mannered.
