Flames slowly surged out of Huo Yuan's body and enveloped him. Lin Jin could feel the scorching heat. Although he wasn't afraid of fire, he still took a few steps back.
Huo Yuan must be recovering from his injuries and recuperating right now.
A few steps away, the female immortal, Xiang Yun, stared at Lin Jin as if she had just seen a ghost. She still couldn't figure out how Lin Jin managed to make the spirit devourer ghost worm behave so obediently after making contact with it. The insect wouldn't attack him.
Xiang Yun wasn't dumb.
On the contrary, she was incredibly smart.
She had secretly studied the spirit devourer ghost worm before. It was a fierce and unique spirit worm with a tenacious vitality that wouldn't be corroded by water or fire.
In other words, it was impossible to forcefully subdue it and make it obedient.
There was only one possibility left.
Lin Jin did exactly what Lord Man Man did to this spirit devourer ghost worm.
But how did Lin Jin know about Lord Man Man's secret technique?
After being captured and imprisoned by Lord Man Man for centuries, Xiang Yun understood the true immortal expert's temperament well. He wouldn't trust anyone.
Even his most capable subordinate, even that male pet who was' favored 'and' doted on 'by Lord Man Man, wouldn't know about this secret technique.
Xiang Yun studied Lin Jin from head to toe, thinking, 'Although this Mr. Lin isn't exactly handsome, his facial features are distinct. His skin is soft and supple, giving him a rather dashing air. His skin isn't bad, and his limbs are well-proportioned. Could this be Lord Man Man's taste?'
Lin Jin obviously noticed this beautiful female immortal staring at him. Her large eyes had been staring right at him. Come to think of it, Lin Jin was quite knowledgeable but this was his first time seeing such a direct and passionate gaze. Truth be told, he found it a little hard to take.
The beauty of a fairy was obviously top-notch. Even a beauty like Shang'er paled in comparison. The only thing that was lacking was that celestial aura.
'Could this female immortal have taken a liking to me? ' Lin Jin was inwardly pleased. Any other man would be delighted to be stared at by such a beautiful fairy. After all, this was a reflection of his own charm.
However, Lin Jin wasn't going to immerse himself in the affairs of men and women. He had higher aspirations. If this female immortal were to confess later, Lin Jin felt that he would have no choice but to reject her.
But now, Lin Jin retracted his gaze.
He wanted to continue refining these Spirit Devouring Ghost Insects.
Now that Huo Yuan was fine, the True Immortal's recovery had nothing to do with Lin Jin. Besides, even if Lin Jin wanted to help, there was nothing he could do.
He wasn't a doctor. Or rather, he wasn't a doctor who treated people. According to modern terminology, Lin Jin was a veterinarian.
He was in charge of the ferocious beasts, but he couldn't be bothered with anything else.
The spirit devourer ghost worm was a good thing. It was arguably the best pet beast Lin Jin had ever seen, second to none.
Even Big Yellow's Golden Crow and Phoenix bloodlines, or even the Xuan Dao Sect's Qilin, were inferior to these little insects.
Believe it or not, this was the truth.
After refining them and controlling them with a secret technique, God Lord Gan could easily injure Huo Yuan who was also at the True Immortal realm. If Lin Jin hadn't accidentally stumbled into the Spirit Devouring Ghost Insect, Huo Yuan might have died there and then.
This wasn't an exaggeration.
Just this point alone was enough to show how amazing the spirit devourer ghost insects were.
No other pet beast could reach this level of combat power.
But similarly, the more powerful they were, the greater the drawbacks. In fact, the biggest problem with the spirit devourer ghost insects was that they were too powerful.
So powerful that the slightest carelessness could result in a backlash. Even the master who controlled them had to be careful.
This was like using a double-edged sword. It could hurt others, but it could also hurt oneself.
Lin Jin didn't know what method God Lord Gan used, but he was sure that no matter what method he used, it wasn't as brilliant or as perfect as Lin Jin's.
After all, it was the Museum of Deadly Beasts that provided the refinement method.
Earlier, Lin Jin had merely used his special spirit energy to paralyze the ghost insects. It was like grabbing a snake's weak spot so these things wouldn't resist.
However, if Lin Jin wanted to use them as his own weapon, a trump card that he could use to defeat his enemies by surprise, he would have to refine them further.
Lin Jin touched his pocket with an awkward expression. To refine these ghost insects, he needed a furnace.
He had a pellet furnace, a fire furnace, and quite a few of them. But the problem was, none of them met his requirements because what he needed was an immortal grade pellet furnace.
Hence, after some thought, Lin Jin turned to Xiang Yun and saluted her. "Dear immortal, do you have an immortal grade pellet furnace?"
Lin Jin was only asking tentatively.
Meanwhile, Xiang Yun, who was still staring at Lin Jin, trying to figure out the relationship between God Lord Gan and this man, suddenly came to a realization. She nodded. "I do."
Having said that, she reached out with her fair fingers and plucked off an earring from her left earlobe.
In the next instant, Xiang Yun blew on it gently and chanted a few incantations. That earring actually emitted a white mist with a fiery glow within.
Soon, it became a pellet furnace that was as tall as two people.
An immortal grade pellet furnace.
She really did have one.
Lin Jin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He mused, 'This immortal sure has some background and she's quite bold too. She actually showed this treasure out in the open and not even God Lord Gan noticed it.'
Xiang Yun was smart enough to notice the confusion in Lin Jin's eyes so she explained, "When it comes to concealment artifacts, my sect has some unique skills."
In other words, she was an expert in concealment artifacts.
It was indeed impressive. If this immortal hadn't mentioned it or taken it out, Lin Jin wouldn't have been able to tell that her earring was actually an artifact, an immortal grade pellet furnace.
However, Lin Jin was still feeling awkward. After all, to refine these star devourer ghost insects, he needed to activate this immortal grade pellet furnace.
But he wasn't an immortal.
He couldn't activate it.
He could only turn to Xiang Yun for help. The latter had no intention of turning him down because she was curious about what Lin Jin was going to do next.
Although both of them were human and immortal and hadn't known each other for a long time, it was strange that they seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other. According to some mystical sayings, they were indeed fated to meet.
Otherwise, when Huoyuan rushed out with Lin Jin, they wouldn't have coincidentally bumped into her. And if Lin Jin hadn't seen her and had the idea to ask Huoyuan to bring her along, none of this would have happened.
Lin Jin wanted to rope in a pellet expert for his own use while Xiang Yun saw Lin Jin as her savior. However, for a moment, she had her suspicions that Mr. Lin and God Lord Gan had an unspeakable relationship.
