For the sake of the one-thousand-five-hundred-year-old vulcan jade, Lin Jin accepted this favor. Although he had nothing to repay now, he had to do so in the future.
Immortal Drifting Cloud was the second person to donate generously. This surprised Lin Jin as well.
First, when did Drifting Cloud return?
Furthermore, the other party's attitude was clearly different from before. At this moment, he actually took out a ferocious beast's skull that seemed to be burning red without hesitation.
"Mr. Lin, I only have a piece of calamity star's fire skull. I wonder if it can help you."
Lin Jin stared at the disc-sized skull in Drifting Cloud's hand. As if it had just been taken out of a furnace, the skull was as hot as metal. Lin Jin immediately knew it would be useful.
It was similar to the vulcan jade.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Jin accepted it.
"Thank you, Drifting Cloud Immortal."
"Mister Lin, please don't stand on ceremony. I was being arrogant and didn't know my limits. Mister Lin, please don't take it to heart. In the future, I would like to learn more about beast appraising from you, Mister Lin," Piao Yun said sincerely.
Lin Jin didn't understand the hidden meaning behind his words but was surprised by Drifting Cloud's one-hundred-eighty attitude. But this was a good thing. Lin Jin nodded.
Then, he turned to the others.
Next, Mystic Moon wasn't stingy either. She took out fire crystals.
If they weren't artifacts, they were fire-attributed gems used for weapon crafting and cultivation. However, as the sect leader of the Cloud Path Sect, Mystic Moon's fire crystals were of premium quality.
Their value was inestimable because it was impossible to find fire crystals of this quality anywhere else.
Lin Jin knew he owed too many favors this time and it wouldn't be easy to repay them. But still, he had to get what he wanted first. After all, Xiao Huo had encountered a rare opportunity to evolve. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait a long time for the next one. Also, the materials he needed might be even more expensive and rare.
"Thank you, thank you!" Lin Jin saluted. These items should be enough. Since time was of the essence, Lin Jin didn't dare to say anything else. He immediately returned to the inner cloud layer.
Lin Jin came and went in a hurry. Mystic Moon looked at the sea of clouds in front of her. The color of the flames was getting brighter.
It was like the morning sun had just risen.
"What's going on in the inner layer of the cloud sea?" Daoist Xuan Yue muttered to herself. She took a deep breath and felt that something big was going to happen here today.
The other immortals had the same thought.
Meanwhile, as Lin Jin re-entered the inner sea of clouds, the sea of flaming clouds before him grew thicker and more substantial. It rolled outwards endlessly, and after about a thousand feet, it gradually rose upwards, forming an inner circle.
This place was like a giant Heaven and Earth Smelt. However, the strange thing was that it wasn't scorching hot.
The center of the cauldron in front of them was a giant fruit that seemed to be formed by clouds.
Inside the fruit, there were glaring flames, like the core of a scorching sun, already difficult to look at.
Through the power of their blood contract, Lin Jin knew that Xiao Huo was inside the inner fruit. And now, it was clearly the most crucial moment. Although the fire clouds seemed endless, they were starting to run out of steam.
Under such circumstances, if Xiao Huo didn't interfere, then it was almost certain that he would fail if he wanted to advance to the Tier 7 this time. At this, Lin Jin dared not delay any longer. He hurriedly tossed out the top-grade fire crystals in his hand like the inner cores of a weeping fruit.
There were a few loud rumbles.
The surrounding fire clouds seemed to have been nourished, surging once more with a threatening aura.
Sure enough, it worked.
The top-grade fire crystals were indeed useful, but Lin Jin could tell that it wasn't enough to force Xiao Huo to break through to Rank 7.
And so, Lin Jin could only toss in the vulcan jade as well.
An artifact refined one thousand and five hundred years ago would surely work as well.
Sure enough, once the vulcan jade was tossed inside, it immediately turned into a ball of jade light that enveloped the weeping fruit. At the same time, a huge amount of energy was injected into it.
Thump thump thump!
Just like a heart, the weeping fruit began to beat on its own. Each beat seemed to transmit some kind of energy, and Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat as he watched.
This Rank 7 advancement wasn't just for show. Just the aura alone was frightening enough. Of course, this was normal. After all, a Rank 7 pet beast was equivalent to a true immortal.
Wasn't the ascension to true immortality just as impressive? Lin Jin hadn't experienced it during the golden age of immortality so he didn't know. But how many true immortals were there in this world now?
They could be counted on one's fingers.
Hence, Xiao Huo's advancement to Rank 7 was a huge deal. Lin Jin couldn't be blamed for being in such a hurry to search for the artifact without a care in the world.
Like a flaming heart, the weeping fruit was still beating. But as time passed, the beating grew faster and faster. Lin Jin felt something was off.
It was as if the energy was too great and it was hard to control.
After all, this wasn't just Lin Jin's speculation. The entire inner layer of the sea of clouds was shaking.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jin took out the last item he had. It was the skull of the Bane, a treasure given to him by Drifting Cloud Immortal.
This item was indeed a priceless treasure.
Why was that?
That was because the Bane was a ferocious beast that had already gone extinct. It no longer existed in the world. Of course, Lin Jin knew about this bane because of the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
In ancient times, the bane wasn't considered a powerful beast because it carried flames all over its body. No matter where it went, it would cause a huge disaster and wreak havoc.
Hence, this beast was known as the bane.
And because the bane's flames could grow out of thin air and never extinguish, immortals began hunting it down and eventually killed it to extinction.
This was a huge failure in the field of animal protection in this world. It was a tragedy. The immortals clearly realized this but it was too late by the time they realized it.
The bane was extinct. Who knew where Drifting Cloud Immortal managed to get his hands on the skull of the bane. Using the eternal flame, this item could last forever and was extremely precious.
However, this flame wasn't violent. It was a warm flame.
It complemented Firecloud Immortal's attributes.
Xiao Huo needed to control the flames from going out of control from the vulcan jade so the skull of the bane was of some use. Other than that, Lin Jin had other ideas.
After tossing the skull over, Lin Jin patted the Four Seas Gourd.
After the Four Seas Gourd consumed all the spirit water from the Queen Fairy's spiritual pond, it had undergone a drastic change. Its supernatural powers were much stronger than before.
At this moment, layers of water vapor floated out from the Four Seas Free Gourd and began to fly towards the extremely agitated Weeping Fruit. Although the rapidly beating Weeping Fruit had slowed down a little after throwing in the Bane Star's skull, it was clearly not enough.
