Of course, for such an important matter, it was impossible for Fairy Piaoyun to make a decision and execute it immediately. No matter how unconventional she was, no matter how arrogant she was, she still had to discuss it with the Sect Master, who was also her Senior Sister, Xuan Yue.
And so, here she was.
Upon hearing Immortal Drifting Cloud's plan, Mystic Moon was shocked.
She didn't expect her junior sister to make such a shocking decision after just one day. Under normal circumstances, Perfected Master Xuan Yue would not agree. The reason was very simple: Celestial Piaoyun was just a mortal and not a senior cultivator. Celestial Piaoyun was his junior sister and the second most powerful person in the Yun Dao Sect.
However, the current situation was clearly abnormal.
Lin Jin had entered the storm beast lair and entered the inner layer of the clouds. Just this fact alone proved that Lin Jin's relationship with the storm beast lair had reached an extremely high level. Mystic Moon had been thinking about how to rope Lin Jin in. Now that she heard Immortal Drifting Cloud's opinion, she immediately had an idea.
She would agree to it.
She would let Lin Jin be her disciple and learn beast appraising.
This was a good excuse and reason.
"Drifting Cloud, have you thought this through?" Although Mystic Moon was secretly delighted, she maintained a stern expression.
She knew that her junior sister was the type of person who wouldn't budge no matter what she wanted to do. Her question earlier was just a formality. "Senior Sister, I've thought it through.
"Senior Sister, I've thought it through. Back then, Master taught us not to be complacent just because we have a high cultivation base. We shouldn't underestimate craftsmen and technicians. Everything has a master, and the master is the master. That's why I'll only acknowledge a master in beast appraising. There's no problem, and I won't regret it."
Immortal Drifting Cloud looked serious.
It was obvious that she had thought things through and had made up her mind.
"Alright, I have no objections. But whether Mr. Lin accepts you or not, it's not my place to interfere. It's all up to you," Mystic Moon said.
Although that was what she said, Mystic Moon would still ask if there was a need. After all, she was hoping to use this opportunity to rope Lin Jin into the Cloud Path Sect. It would be best if he could become an elder.
If it was possible, Sage Mystic Moon would even agree to let Lin Jin cultivate the Cloud Path Sect's advanced immortal skills. But on second thought, the 'Unfettered Immortal' backing Lin Jin was so powerful that he might not even be interested in the Cloud Path Sect's skills.
But no matter what, he had to build a good relationship with Lin Jin. Sage Mystic Moon had also cultivated the art of divination before. Although this supernatural power had always been the most mysterious and difficult to master since ancient times, the future was ever-changing. Grasping even the tiniest clue was a daunting task.
Daoist Master Xuan Yue's attainments in divination weren't particularly high, but she more or less had some skill. She didn't just sit around and do nothing. Instead, she silently circulated her spell to perform divination.
Of course, it was about the future of the Yun Dao Sect.
In the past, Perfected Xuanyue knew that the future of the Yun Dao Sect was bleak. After all, the future of the Celestial Dao Sect was uncertain.
Since the Great Tribulation of the Immortal Dao, immortals had already declined. All these years, they could only struggle at death's door in the outer realms.
At Sage Mystic Moon's level, she could see a lot more.
Some immortals and sects even fantasized that one day, the Celestial Dao Sect could rise again. They could leave this dangerous and terrifying outer realm and return to Middle Earth or even the Nine Heavens.
But reality was cruel.
Sage Mystic Moon knew very well that this was impossible. Even maintaining the current situation wouldn't work. Because in the past two thousand years, the miasma in the outer realms had decreased by forty percent.
Due to the long period of time, many immortals didn't notice it.
However, it was impossible for a True Immortal to not notice it. Coupled with her divination skills, Sage Mystic Moon knew that it wouldn't be long before the outer realms, their final refuge, would fall.
When that happened, the immortal devouring beast that once destroyed the Celestial Dao Sect would descend upon the outer realms. Where could immortals like them run to then?
Perhaps the day of immortals' demise was approaching.
Sage Mystic Moon would perform a similar divination every month and nothing had changed in the past few centuries. But today, after Lin Jin entered the inner layer of the sea of clouds, Sage Mystic Moon's divination showed some changes.
Divination was mysterious and mysterious. Although this change was still vague and difficult to understand, Sage Mystic Moon saw a glimmer of hope in it.
This sort of divination and feeling was so mysterious that it was barely discernible, like a reflection in a mirror. Reverend Mystic Moon could only be sure of one thing. Perhaps their fates depended on Lin Jin in the future.
Hence, it was imperative for him to maintain a good relationship with Lin Jin.
Because this matter involved mysterious divination, he mustn't tell anyone about it. This was a great taboo for Sage Mystic Moon's branch of magic.
Having made up his mind, Sage Mystic Moon glanced at his eager junior sister, Piao Yun. After some thought, he said, "Junior Sister, if you want to become Mr. Lin's disciple, wouldn't it be inappropriate if you don't have a gift?"
At this, Piao Yun came to a realization.
"That's right. How could I have forgotten about this? Thank you for reminding me, Senior Sister."
Immortal Fluttercloud hurriedly flew up. After a short while, he returned with two or three beautiful Cosmos Sacks. There was no need to ask; these Cosmos Sacks definitely contained the treasures that Immortal Fluttercloud had accumulated.
This scene played out right in front of the other Cloud Path Sect disciples.
Qin Yunshang was already dumbfounded. Immortal Piaoyun was her martial uncle. His seniority and cultivation level were much higher than hers. He was also the number two figure in the Cloud Dao Sect. To put it bluntly, if anything were to happen to Perfected Blackmoon, the person who would take over as sect master of the Cloud Dao Sect would be Piaoyun.
However, it would not have been surprising if Uncle-Master Piaoyun had done something so outrageous. Qin Yunshang knew very well that her Uncle-Master Piaoyun loved to study all sorts of ferocious beasts, to the point of being obsessed with them. According to her talent and potential, she should have become a True Immortal by now, but because she indulged in such things, she was stuck at the peak False Immortal realm, unable to take that final step.
This was not something that Qin Yunshang had said. The entire Cloud Path Sect, including Sage Mystic Moon and the previous sect master, Perfected Immortal, had said the same thing. It was a consensus.
However, the problem was that Uncle-Master Piao Yun's fooling around was one thing, but why was Master Mystic Moon joining in as well? Not only did he not dissuade her, he even came up with a plan.
It was truly unbelievable.
In any case, Qin Yunshang felt that it was inappropriate. Even if Mr. Lin was extremely powerful and was the disciple of the Carefree Immortal, he was still a mortal, and a man at that.
The Cloud Path Sect rarely accepted men. Apart from Uncle-Master Xuan Hang taking in a few men, there were no others in the sect. It could be said that the number of men in the sect could be counted on one hand.
If Uncle-Master Piao Yun were to acknowledge Mr. Lin as his master, even if it was just to impart techniques to him, his status would be extremely high. He might even be ranked above Master Mystic Moon. That would be the highest seniority in the Cloud Path Sect.
Wasn't this fooling around?
However, Qin Yunshang did not dare to say anything about it. If Uncle-Master Piao Yun was fooling around, Master Mystic Moon would stop him. However, if even Master Mystic Moon agreed, no one could stop him.
Vaguely, Qin Yunshang felt that there was something fishy about the matter. However, she could not tell what was wrong.
