Lin Jin's trip to the foreign lands this time was to borrow the help of a true immortal like Spiritual Master Miao Yan to obtain a treasure that he would never have been able to obtain in his entire life under normal circumstances.
With this Purple Thunder Divine Needle, Lin Jin's Body Forging Needle could now display two hundred percent of its effectiveness. Even when it came to defending against enemies, Lin Jin was now much stronger than before.
This was like a penniless man who had won the lottery.
It would be a lie to say that Lin Jin wasn't excited.
Moreover, the Purple Thunder Divine Needle could only be used to treat the qilin. Of course, the Thunderfire Needle that Lin Jin refined using divine lightning could barely be used, but the effects couldn't compare to the Purple Thunder Divine Needle.
"In order to refine this Purple Thunder Divine Needle, I spent a lot of effort and used up a lot of heavenly materials. You should know that this is not the golden age of the immortal dao. Some things will be gone once they are used up," Reverend Wisdom Yan said.
Lin Jin understood what he was implying.
"Don't worry, Spiritual Master Miao Yan. With this Purple Thunder Divine Needle, I'm eighty percent sure I can save Mr. Qi," Lin Jin said confidently.
In fact, Lin Jin wasn't being too sure. It wasn't eighty percent, but one hundred percent.
Lin Jin was a hundred percent sure he could cure the qilin.
But of course, he couldn't say that. Otherwise, how could he show off the difficulty of this task? If he didn't, how could he show off his contributions?
Lin Jin was already familiar with these tricks.
Upon hearing that he was eighty percent sure, Spiritual Master Miao Yan was elated. Even the qilin beside him was so excited that his breathing quickened. This illness had been tormenting him for thousands of years and it was unbearable. Forget eighty percent, even if it was just ten percent, he was willing to give it his all.
The qilin got up excitedly. "Mr. Lin, are you really eighty percent sure?"
Lin Jin nodded. "That's right."
"Great, that's great!" The qilin paced back and forth while Spiritual Master Miao Yan was equally excited. He quickly got up and said, "Mr. Qi, don't be anxious. I believe Mr. Lin needs some time to prepare for his treatment. After all, Mr. Lin is quite tired this time."
After being abducted for so many days, Spiritual Master Miao Yan couldn't bring himself to ask someone to treat him as soon as he returned. Hence, despite his anxiety, he thought Lin Jin should rest for a few days first.
The Qilin Immortal Beast felt that it was right. Moreover, it had already waited for several thousand years. It really didn't care about waiting for a few more days.
However, Lin Jin didn't want to waste any more time.
"Forget about resting. I'm a beast appraiser, just like a doctor. A doctor should be compassionate. Since I can cure it, why should I continue waiting? There's no need to rest. Let's start now."
Daoist Master Miao Yan and the Qilin Immortal Beast were pleasantly surprised.
"Really?"
"Mister Lin, if you can really cure Mister Qi, then the entire Xuan Dao Sect will respect you as our most honored guest. From now on, the entire Xuan Dao Sect will follow whatever Mister Lin says."
Lin Jin smiled. If he said they could start now, they could start now.
"Mr. Qi, please reveal your true form," Lin Jin said.
If these words were spoken by someone else, the Qilin Immortal Beast would surely be infuriated. Demon cultivators, even if they were Immortal Beasts, hated it the most when others forced them to reveal their true forms. After all, cultivating the Shapeshifting Technique meant that they had to be exactly like humans.
But Lin Jin was different. The Qilin Immortal Beast didn't seem displeased at all. Right after Lin Jin said that, the Qilin Immortal Beast immediately cast a spell. Bolts of lightning flashed, blinding everyone's eyes as Mr. Qi transformed into a Qilin Beast.
This Qilin Beast was nine feet tall and rather muscular. As one of the mythical beasts, the Qilin's domineering aura was on full display. Electricity flowed through the Qilin Beast's body and even its scales carried electricity. Some were even formed entirely out of lightning.
The Thunder Qilin. This was Mr. Qi's true form.
"Thank you, Mister Lin," the Thunder Qilin said.
It was Lin Jin's first time seeing a Qilin Beast in person. While he was surprised, he wasn't stunned. He looked it up and down before reaching out to press on the Qilin Beast's wound.
It was on the Qilin Beast's back.
It would be fine if he didn't touch it, but once he did, he felt excruciating pain. The Qilin Beast collapsed to the ground in pain. Spiritual Master Miao Yan was also frightened out of his wits. The Qilin Beast, on the other hand, regained its composure and said, "Mister Lin, you're truly brilliant. I didn't tell you where I was injured but you could tell at a glance.
It turned out that when Lin Jin pressed on the Qilin Beast's back, he had actually pushed the Purple Thunder Divine Needle inside.
Lin Jin smiled. "Since your back was broken, many of your veins were damaged as well. It's like a silkworm's silk being cut short. If you want to heal it, you have to straighten out the messy veins and at the same time, repair them bit by bit. That includes the bone marrow and marrow of the spine."
Just hearing this made Lin Jin's scalp tingle.
After all, the Qilin Beast's body wasn't entirely made of flesh and blood. Some parts of its body contained different attributes of lightning. Why did Lin Jin use the Purple Thunder Divine Needle?
Because it wasn't a lightning attribute needle, it couldn't repair the Qilin Beast's veins and bones.
After all, it was still lightning. Regular needles would melt into a ball of air so how could they last long enough for Lin Jin to heal his old wounds?
Lin Jin didn't say anything else. He began using all his skills. This treatment was extremely difficult. Although Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts' detailed treatment method, to execute it flawlessly required Lin Jin's full attention. He couldn't afford to be careless.
Next, Lin Jin cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and began using the Purple Thunder Divine Needle to repair the Qilin Beast's damaged areas.
Spiritual Master Miao Yan stood at the side, staring at Lin Jin without making a sound. He was afraid that if he made a sound, it would disturb Lin Jin's treatment. Of course, as a true immortal, Spiritual Master Miao Yan was experienced and knowledgeable. He could tell that Lin Jin's technique was superb. There were many parts that even a true immortal like him couldn't understand.
Seconds turned into minutes.
The Qilin Beast remained motionless as if it was asleep.
This was because Lin Jin's acupuncture technique had numbed the Qilin Beast's nerves. Even the Qilin Beast was in a deep sleep, no different from a dead pig.
It couldn't be helped. This had to be done. Otherwise, even the Qilin Beast wouldn't be able to endure the pain of repairing its spine and veins.
Lin Jin knew very well that this level of tolerance had nothing to do with one's cultivation level. He would still feel the pain and endure the pain. This was equivalent to giving the Qilin Beast general anesthesia. It would be much easier for Lin Jin to repair the damaged areas later on.
Based on Lin Jin's estimation, it would only take around six to ten hours to repair the damaged areas with the Purple Thunder Divine Needle. It wouldn't take more than fourteen hours.
However, after ten hours, Lin Jin discovered a problem while repairing the Qilin Beast's spine.
There was something inside the Qilin Beast's spine.
But the problem was, Lin Jin didn't know anything about this strange object before this. This in itself was abnormal and impossible. After all, the Museum of Deadly Beasts had never made a mistake in its appraisal results.
However, it was different this time. The Museum of Deadly Beasts didn't manage to appraise this strange object inside the Qilin Beast's spine. This was Lin Jin's first time encountering this.
