Lin Jin didn't mind Immortal Fluttering Cloud's departure. Truth be told, he didn't really care as all his attention was on the storm beast lair.
This unique beast had lived for far too long. It was probably the oldest beast Lin Jin had ever appraised.
No other ferocious beast could be mentioned in the same breath as it in this aspect.
According to the museum's appraisal results, the storm beast lair had existed for a hundred thousand years.
When Lin Jin first saw it, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. After confirming it several times, he was sure of it. In addition, the museum's appraisal results regarding the storm beast lair had also set a new record. It was ten times more than other beasts.
As the saying went, 'one loves one's profession'. Having been a beast appraiser for so long, Lin Jin had fallen in love with beast appraising. Now that he saw such a unique and rare beast, how could he not be curious?
He wanted to study the storm beast lair thoroughly.
Moreover, this process might take a long time. Besides, Lin Jin didn't want to be disturbed during this process.
Hence, he took a step forward and entered the storm beast lair. The next moment, the surrounding clouds churned and Lin Jin was nowhere to be seen.
"Master, this …" Qin Yunshang jumped in fright when she saw this. On the other hand, Perfected Xuanyue was taken aback as well. However, she thought for a moment and said, "Although Mr. Lin is a mortal, he is extremely knowledgeable. His means are so profound that even I, your master, cannot see through him. The Wind Cloud Beast Lair is related to the providence of our Cloud Dao Sect. For it to not produce a Wind Cloud Beast for a hundred years, there is indeed a problem.
Reverend Mystic Moon was still calm. She knew that she couldn't treat Lin Jin the same way she used to.
Just as she said, the storm beast lair was the Cloud Path Sect's foundation. It was related to the sect's fortune. Immortal Fluttering Cloud had been guarding the storm beast lair for a thousand years but the beast lair had never been willing to let him enter the inner sea of clouds. Lin Jin was able to enter the inner sea on his first visit, which meant that the storm beast lair valued him more.
Based on this relationship alone, Lin Jin would have a place in the Cloud Path Sect in the future. Even if he wasn't willing to join, Reverend Mystic Moon would drag him over by force.
After that, Reverend Mystic Moon and the others stayed and waited.
A day later, Lin Jin had yet to emerge from the inner cloud sea, but Immortal Floatcloud hurried over.
The first thing she did when she saw Xuan Yue was to ask, "Has the Xuan Dao Sect's Qilin been cured?"
Master Xuanyue was stunned. "Didn't I tell you?"
Piao Yun shook his head.
"That's my fault. Too many things happened before. That's right, the Xuan Dao Sect's Qilin has been cured. It was Mister Lin who cured it." After Xuan Yue said this, Celestial Floating Cloud's expression changed.
"Senior Sister, why didn't you tell me before?" At this moment, Celestial Floating Cloud looked at the Cloud Sea and clenched his fists. "I went to see the Qilin 500 years ago. At that time, I was in high spirits and felt like nothing in the world could stop me. However, I didn't expect the Qilin to be so seriously injured that I couldn't do anything. I also heard from the Qilin that in the past 1,000 years, the Xuan Dao Sect had secretly invited many celestial doctors, but none of them had a solution. Everyone said that the Qilin's injuries were incurable."
Master Xuanyue nodded. "That's true. But this time, Mister Lin cured it."
At this moment, Immortal Driftcloud's face was red with embarrassment. He lowered his head and said, "Elder Sister, I was wrong this time. I was too conceited and arrogant. I forgot the teachings of Master. There is always a higher mountain, and there are always capable people outside of Immortals. Mr. Lin is a man of astonishing talent. When he comes out, I will apologize to him and admit my mistake."
Although Celestial Floating Cloud had left in shame, she still felt a little indignant. But later, she heard that Lin Jin had entered the inner cloud sea.
That was the core area of the Storm Beast Lair. Even she had never been there before.
Only now did Drifting Cloud Immortal realize just how far apart he was from Lin Jin. Although she was just a mortal, in terms of their understanding of beasts and immortal beasts, it was as if she was a mortal while Lin Jin was a true immortal.
She couldn't help but feel indignant.
On this day, Celestial Floating Cloud calmed down and reflected on her actions. Later, when she found out that Lin Jin was the one who cured the qilin, she let go of her pride.
She knew she had to apologize. Moreover, Celestial Floating Cloud wasn't stupid. She was just too arrogant. Now that she had calmed down, her sharp senses told her that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
Celestial Floating Cloud was different from other immortals. She was Master Xuanyue's junior but she didn't focus all her attention on cultivation.
She preferred to study storm beasts and other immortal beasts.
Celestial Floating Cloud had a special beast pen in the Cloud Path Sect. Inside it were various immortal beasts and beasts she had collected over the past thousand years. There were even some monsters among them.
This was one of her hobbies. She would even write down the results of her research and compile them into books to be stored in the Cloud Path Sect's library.
This was what gave Celestial Floating Cloud her pride.
In fact, she was quite famous among the other immortal sects. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been invited to Xuan Dao Sect to treat the qilin.
To put it bluntly, she could be considered a beast appraiser and a beast appraisal enthusiast from another region.
Based on the standard of beast appraisers in Middle Earth, Celestial Floating Cloud was at least at the level of a Rank 3 beast appraiser.
This wasn't an exaggeration. After all, although Celestial Floating Cloud didn't have anyone to guide her, she was talented enough and had enough time to specialize in her research.
If a beast appraisal enthusiast met a truly capable senior in the beast appraisal industry, it would be an opportunity to learn.
Celestial Floating Cloud set aside her arrogant attitude. Now that she had returned, other than to apologize to Mister Lin, she also wanted to become his disciple.
That's right.
Celestial Floating Cloud was a daring person. Once she set her mind on something, she would do it wholeheartedly. She would never give up halfway nor would she give up just because someone told her to.
This temperament had also shaped her character.
There were rules for apprenticeships in the Cloud Path Sect. She had an immortal master, but if she wanted to learn other knowledge, she could continue to be apprenticed to. Many of the ancestors of the Cloud Path Sect were quite open-minded about this. They wouldn't restrict or restrict their disciples because of this.
Of course, the immortal master was the authentic one and that couldn't be changed. Other than that, if they wanted to learn other skills such as alchemy or smithing, their disciples could choose to apprentice under other masters.
Hence, according to the rules, if Celestial Floating Cloud wanted to become Lin Jin's disciple, there were no obstacles.
