Leaving the inner layer of the sea of clouds, Lin Jin looked at Reverend Mystic Moon and the other immortals who were eagerly waiting for him. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. In order to seize the window of opportunity for Xiao Huo to level up, Lin Jin had been so anxious that he had to borrow many priceless treasures from them.
Now that the matter was resolved and Xiao Huo had achieved Rank 7 as he wished, it was time for Lin Jin to return the favor.
How could he return the favor? Lin Jin couldn't think of a solution at the moment so he couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Reverend Mystic Moon and the others.
Mystic Moon and Piao Yun were fine, but a favor from a handsome male immortal like Xuan Hang wasn't easy to accept. If Lin Jin wanted to return the favor, Immortal Xuan Hang would be the first to bear the brunt.
As for how he was going to explain it to the Cloudpath Sect's immortals, Lin Jin had already thought it through.
It was simple. He would tell them the truth.
There was nothing to hide and there was no need to.
After bowing to Reverend Mystic Moon, Lin Jin presented the evaluation report he had written.
At first, Reverend Mystic Moon was puzzled. But after reading the report, his expression immediately turned solemn as if he had just come to a realization.
"Mr. Lin, this evaluation report is extremely valuable," Reverend Mystic Moon commented.
Lin Jin nodded.
Indeed, this was how things were. In essence, it wasn't anything special. But if no one knew about it and no one taught it, it would still cause trouble.
Just like the Cloudpath Sect's understanding of the storm beast lair. Many of their previous understandings were wrong and any decisions made under these misconceptions would be incorrect. Some of their actions would even have a huge impact.
And this was the value of Lin Jin's evaluation report.
It was equivalent to a guidebook. It clearly explained what could be done and what couldn't be done. Most importantly, it explained the storm beast lair's habits in great detail.
To the Cloudpath Sect, this was a priceless treasure.
This evaluation report was enough to make up for the top-grade Fire Element Crystals Reverend Mystic Moon gave him earlier. To Lin Jin, this was considered returning a small favor.
Just then, Immortal Piao Yun couldn't hold back any longer. She stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, Piao Yun plans to learn beast appraising from you from now on."
This was something Immortal Piao Yun had planned.
She had even prepared gifts for Lin Jin's apprenticeship.
Could Lin Jin refuse?
Obviously not. However, Lin Jin would rather die than agree to take her in as his disciple. There was no helping it. Immortal Drifting Cloud had a high status in the Cloud Path Sect and she was a hundred times older than Lin Jin. If she was willing and Lin Jin was unwilling, wouldn't that mean that his seniority was higher than Mystic Moon's?
What a joke.
Lin Jin wasn't arrogant enough to think he could reach such heights.
However, he still agreed to impart his beast appraising skills without the need to be apprenticed to him.
Immortal Fluttering Cloud did not mind. As long as she could learn the art of beast appraising, it did not matter if she did not have a master. Her personality was different from that of ordinary people. She could not be bothered to abide by overly complicated rules.
With that, Lin Jin realized that he had returned the favor he owed Immortal Drifting Cloud.
All Lin Jin had to do was teach him the art of beast appraising, and this was Lin Jin's forte. It seemed like Immortal Xuan Hang was the only one left. She didn't want to learn beast appraising and didn't seem to have any other requests. Favors were the hardest to return.
Perhaps noticing Lin Jin's thoughts, Immortal Xuan Hang stepped forward and said, "Mister Lin, please don't overthink it. I only admire your character and am envious of your focus on beast appraising. I simply want to be friends with you, Mister Lin. If you have a favor to ask of me, I won't hesitate to go through hell and high water for you. A mere vulcan jade is nothing to me, Mister Lin, please don't take it to heart."
These words were spoken in a carefree and manly manner.
However, when paired with Immortal Xuan Hang's face, which was prettier than a woman's, Lin Jin still couldn't accept it.
"Brother Xuan Hang is right. Lin Jin has learned his lesson." Lin Jin quickly saluted and lowered his head.
Lin Jin couldn't leave the Cloud Path Sect immediately. After all, he had promised Immortal Fluttering Cloud to teach her beast appraising skills. Also, it was difficult to turn down her kindness. Both Mystic Moon and Immortal Fluttering Cloud had too many questions regarding the storm beast cave.
So, Lin Jin decided to stay at the Cloud Path Sect for the time being.
His stay lasted for an entire month.
During this month, other than entering the Visitation Hall once every seven days to interact with other visitors, Lin Jin spent most of his time with Immortal Fluttering Cloud.
She said that she was Lin Jin's student. Although Lin Jin never admitted it verbally, he had long since acknowledged it in his heart.
As a student, Immortal Fluttering Cloud was the one with the most potential and the best learning ability Lin Jin had ever seen. After all, her cultivation and experience were clear for all to see. The amount of knowledge she could learn in one day far surpassed what others could learn in months.
It was said that immortals were amazing. Their spiritual intelligence far surpassed that of mortals and they had photographic memories. As a teacher, Lin Jin loved smart students like her the most.
Therefore, one taught quickly and seriously, while the other learned quickly and seriously.
In one month, Immortal Fluttering Cloud basically emptied Lin Jin's stomach. According to Lin Jin, if Immortal Fluttering Cloud had the Museum of Deadly Beasts, her achievements would surely surpass his.
There was nothing left to teach.
Moreover, Lin Jin had stayed long enough. After all, ninety percent of the Cloud Path Sect's disciples were female immortals. Even the remaining male immortals were as pretty as flowers. Other than their clothing, they were no different from female immortals.
This was the main reason why Lin Jin couldn't stay at the Cloud Path Sect any longer.
After some research, Lin Jin discovered that it wasn't an accident that Xuan Hang and the other male immortals became so feminine. It was all because of the storm beast lair.
Immortals were also part of the five elements. After all, almighty beings who could transcend the five elements had basically gone extinct after the great calamity of immortality.
In other words, the longer one stayed at the Cloud Path Sect, the more they would be affected by the storm beast lair.
The storm beast lair wasn't just a sea of clouds. In fact, the entire layer of clouds that the Cloud Path Sect resided on, including the clouds beneath their feet, were all part of the storm beast lair.
The storm beast lair could stir up the five elements and convert their powers. Coincidentally, the storm beast lair was based on yin. Since ancient times, men were yang while women were yin. After staying in a storm beast lair that could stir up the wind and clouds, convert the five elements, and even reverse yin and yang for so many years, even the fiercest man would end up like Xuan Hang.
Lin Jin was just a mortal and his cultivation wasn't at immortal level yet. If he stayed here for a little longer, he might even catch up to Immortal Xuan Hang.
Hence, one month was enough.
Just this one month alone made Lin Jin feel like his skin had improved a lot. His appearance seemed to have become more feminine as well.
"I can't stay here any longer. I have to leave!"
Lin Jin was determined to leave. As for the storm beast lair's ability to convert yin and yang, Lin Jin had told Reverend Xuan Yue about it. Of course, he only told her.
After all, it wasn't a good idea to discuss this with others.
