However, Old Monster Xu didn't dare to do anything.
Not even Lord Gu would allow him to do so.
Moreover, Old Monster Xu himself wouldn't do such a thing.
He was rational and had a thirst for knowledge. Although he didn't know what kind of soul-repairing technique this was, Old Monster Xu's desire to learn it had reached a point where he couldn't suppress it any longer.
Perhaps this mortal ant was the only one in this world who knew how to do it. But if this mortal ant died, how could Old Monster Xu learn it?
Old Monster Xu kept these thoughts to himself. Right now, he was carefully observing the entire process of Lin Jin's soul-repairing process even if he couldn't see it clearly.
Time ticked by.
Just then, a spark flew over from afar like a speeding fireball. When it got close, the fireball suddenly expanded to reveal a monk dressed in a flaming kasaya.
The monk was bald, but his eyebrows and beard were all fiery red, and he had a pair of glaring eyes. The Buddhist beads around his neck were all irregular fire crystals, emitting scorching heat. They had a kind of power of death, but they were incomparably beautiful. The best gems would lose their luster in front of these Buddhist beads.
The monk held a sun and moon spade in his hand. After landing, the flames on his body gradually subsided. However, his clothes and the Buddha beads still glowed with fire energy. It was a mystical sight.
"Monk Huo Yuan, why are you here?" Lord Gu was clearly surprised. However, he was clearly familiar with this monk so he stepped forward and asked.
The monk lowered his head to look at Huang Yingnv, then at Lin Jin, and finally at Old Monster Xu. He said, "I heard your disciple got into trouble and almost killed Miao Yan. I'm here to take a look. If she dies, we'll go our separate ways. There's no need for us to work together anymore."
Having said that, he turned to Old Monster Xu and asked, "Ugly, can you cure her? Also, who is this kid? "
His voice was loud and clear, as if he didn't care about anyone.
Old Monster Xu was clearly afraid of Monk Huo Yuan so he merely smiled. "I'm useless. I can't cure her, but …"
Pausing for a moment, just as Monk Huo Yuan was about to explode, he hurriedly said, "This person can be cured."
Monk Huo Yuan let out a sigh of relief. "Next time an ugly monster like you breathes so much, I'll slap you to death. It's good that she didn't die. If she really died, then we can only part ways. Unless you guys have the guts to go capture the Xuan Dao Sect's True Celestial Miao Yan."
"Monk Huo Yuan, calm down. Come, I'll tell you what happened," God Lord Gu interrupted and led Monk Huo Yuan away so they could talk further away.
Just then, Lin Jin opened his eyes slightly and glanced around, sighing inwardly.
He had heard a lot of useful information earlier. Combining it with Lord Gai and Old Monster Xu's conversation, Lin Jin had a relatively complete picture of the situation.
Sir God Yan and the others were working together to do one thing.
The key to this was to find a specific person to chant the 'Heaven Path Mantra'. Lin Jin had no idea what Heaven Path Mantra was, but he could tell that even in this foreign land, there were only a handful of people who could chant Heaven Path Mantra.
From the looks of it, there were probably only two people who met the criteria.
One was Huang Yingnv, and the other was Spiritual Master Miao Yan.
Both of them must be immortals who possessed a unique 'Dharmic Chant' ability. Only those who possessed this ability could do it.
However, God Lord Gu and the others had a mishap. God Lord Gu's disciple was too heavy-handed and injured Huang Yingnv, almost killing her.
With Huang Yingnv dead, it seemed like no one else besides Spiritual Master Miao Yan could chant the 'Heaven Path Mantra'. That was why Huo Yuan said that.
Now, Lin Jin wanted to know what God Lord Gu and the others' goal was and what Heaven Path Mantra was.
Also, Lin Jin had secretly observed Huo Yuan, or rather, the Buddha beads hanging around his neck. No matter how he looked at it, those crystal-like Buddha beads were extremely similar to the nine suns crystal described in the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
This was what Lin Jin was most concerned about.
With many thoughts in mind, Lin Jin adjusted his thoughts before continuing to mend Huang Yingnv's soul. Now that he knew these things, Lin Jin understood where he stood.
In other words, Lin Jin had a bright future ahead of him by saving Huang Yingnv's soul.
Hence, Lin Jin could have repaired Huang Yingnv's soul completely. But after mending ninety percent of her soul, he purposely stopped to stabilize it before getting up and pretending to be exhausted.
Old Monster Xu glanced at Lin Jin with a complicated expression. He then carefully examined Huang Yingnv before finally mumbling to himself, "I didn't think … I didn't think there would be such a method to repair one's soul. Although it's not completely repaired, it's already a remarkable feat."
Having said that, he turned back to Lin Jin. His gaze was exactly the same as how a pervert would look at a young girl.
"Kid, what method did you use to repair her soul just now?" Old Monster Xu approached. Lin Jin knew what the man was thinking so he had already made up his mind. Unafraid of the man's fake threat, Lin Jin replied coldly, "Of course it's a secret method to repair one's soul. I've exhausted myself today so I need to rest. I can only continue the treatment tomorrow."
Not only was he saying this to Old Monster Xu, but he was also saying it to God Lord Gu who was approaching.
Lin Jin could tell that God Lord Gu was the true 'boss' of this group.
Old Monster Xu had snuck into this group with his medical skills. If he wasn't strong enough, his status would be low. Truth be told, even if Lin Jin were to fight Old Monster Xu one-on-one, he was confident he could defeat the man.
Even among immortals, there were trash.
Old Monster Xu clearly wasn't going to give up. He was desperate to know the secret method to repair one's soul. This was too important to him.
If he could learn this secret technique, even the most powerful immortal would have to be respectful to him in the future. At the thought of this, Old Monster Xu couldn't help but feel a little restless.
No matter what, he had to force this secret method out of him.
But soon, Old Monster Xu heard a light cough from God Lord Gu. Startled, Old Monster Xu calmed down.
God Lord Gu was warning him. This was normal. Huang Yingnv couldn't die yet so Lin Jin had to stay alive because only this person could save Huang Yingnv.
If Huang Yingnv died, they would either give up on their plan or risk their lives to capture Reverend Miao Yan.
The problem was, was Reverend Miao Yan someone they could capture so easily?
To put it bluntly, even if they mobilized all their forces, it was hard to say who would be the one to capture. Wouldn't Xuan Dao Sect and Reverend Miao Yan be given to them for free?
If that was the case, Old Monster Xu wouldn't get involved. He would run as far away as he could.
Hence, Old Monster Xu couldn't force an answer now. Otherwise, God Lord Gu would be the first to punish him.
After thinking it through, Old Monster Xu grinned eerily and took a few steps back. He didn't say another word, but he was still glaring at Lin Jin maliciously.
