Chapter 694: Piao Yun’s Plan

Lin Jin wasn’t concerned about Piao Yun’s departure. Quite frankly, he didn’t even care about her. His attention was completely fixated on the Storm Beast Cave.

This exceptionally unique beast had been alive for too long. It might even be the oldest creature Lin Jin had appraised thus far.

According to the museum’s report, this Storm Beast Cave had been alive for over one hundred thousand years now.

At first, Lin Jin thought his eyes were deceiving him. He had to double-check, just to be sure he was looking at the right thing. The information provided by the museum was so long that it broke the record. It was at least ten times longer compared to other beasts.

There was a saying that one tended to fall in love with their field of work. After serving as a beast appraiser for so long, Lin Jin had also come to love his profession. It was unsurprising that he wanted to learn more about this unusual creature.

He wanted to research the Storm Beast Cave thoroughly.

This process might take a while and he didn’t wish to be disturbed.

And so he stepped into the Storm Beast Cave. The next instant, Lin Jin vanished into the mountain of clouds.

“Master, that…” Qin Yunshang was shocked.

Xuan Yue Zhenren was stunned. After giving it some thought, she said, “Mr. Lin may be a mortal, but he’s very knowledgeable. His skills are so profound that even I don’t understand them. The Storm Beast Cave concerns the fate of our sect. Something must have happened for it to have stopped producing any storm beasts over the past few centuries. Mr. Lin must have gone inside to investigate the reason. We just have to stay here and wait.”

Xuan Yue Zhenren was steadfast as always. However, she knew she could no longer maintain her previous attitude toward Lin Jin anymore.

Just as she mentioned, the Storm Beast Cave was the foundation of the Immortal Cloud Sect. The fate of their sect rested in its hands if it had any. While Piao Yun may have guarded the cave for thousands of years, it had never allowed her to enter its body. This was Lin Jin’s first visit to their sect, and he was able to walk through those clouds with ease. That proved how much the Storm Beast Cave valued him.

For this reason, Lin Jin now had a place in the Immortal Cloud Sect. Even if he refuses to join them, Xuan Yue Zhenren had to get him on board even if it meant using force.

Xuan Yue Zhenren and the others waited patiently for Lin Jin outside.

One day passed and Lin Jin still hadn’t emerged from the clouds. At that moment, Piao Yun could be seen rushing toward them.

The instant she saw Xuan Yue Zhenren, she asked, “The Mystery Dao Sect’s Qirin was successfully treated?”

Stunned, Xuan Yue Zhenren asked back, “Didn’t I tell you?”

Piao Yun shook her head.

“That’s my fault. I must have forgotten to inform you due to all the tasks I was handling, but yes, their Qirin has been treated. It was Mr. Lin who treated him.” Xuan Yue Zhenren’s answer induced a strange look on Piao Yun’s face.

“Senior, why didn’t you tell me about this?” Piao Yun turned to the thick clouds with clenched fists. “I visited that Qirin five hundred years ago. At that time, I thought nothing in this world could challenge me. I did not expect his injury would be so severe that I was completely helpless. I even heard from the Qirin that the Mystery Dao Sect had secretly invited many immortal physicians to treat him but to no avail. All of them said the Qirin’s injury can never be treated.”

Xuan Yue Zhenren nodded. “That indeed happened, but Mr. Lin successfully treated him in the end.”

Piao Yun’s face was flushed red. Out of embarrassment, she lowered her head. “Senior, I was wrong this time. I’ve grown too conceited! I have forgotten what our master taught us, that there is always a higher mountain! Experts do exist besides immortals. Mr. Lin is a person of great talent, and when he comes out, I will apologize to him.”

Although Piao Yun left out of embarrassment, she was still reluctant to accept her defeat. However, that changed when she heard Lin Jin had entered the thick clouds.

That place was somewhere she never entered before.

That was the point when Piao Yun realized how wide the gap between her and Lin Jin was. Although the latter was only a mortal, his understanding of beasts made Piao Yun look like the mortal instead. Compared to her, Lin Jin was the profound immortal.

She had to surrender.

Piao Yun took one day to calm down and reflect on herself. After learning that it was Lin Jin who treated the Qirin, the tiny bits of ego left inside her disappeared.

She knew she had to apologize. While Piao Yun was conceited, she was no fool. After regaining her rationality, she realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Piao Yun was different from other immortals. She may be Xuan Yue Zhenren’s junior, but she never actually focused much on cultivating.

Instead, she was more interested in researching the Storm Beast Cave and other immortal beasts.

Piao Yun even had a beast pen of her own where she kept various beasts she had accumulated over the years. There were some monsters in her collection too.

This was her hobby. She usually penned out some of her research, consolidating them into books and stored them in the sect library.

This was where Piao Yun’s pride and confidence was derived from.

Over time, she became well-known even in other sects. That was why she was invited to the Mystery Dao Sect to treat their Qirin.

To put it simply, she was a beast appraiser from the extraterritorial land, an enthusiast for all things beast-related.

According to mainland standards, Piao Yun should at least be a Rank 3 appraiser with her competence.

It was no exaggeration. Although Piao Yun had never gained official guidance, she was talented enough conduct her own research. Of course, she had all the time in the world to carry out her studies, since she was immortal.

Now that a beast appraising enthusiast bumped into a professional, wasn’t this a great opportunity to learn?

Piao Yun forced herself to ignore her pride and return to the scene. Other than apologizing to Mr. Lin, she also wanted become his apprentice.

That’s right.

Piao Yun was a bold character. Whenever she made a decision, she would go through with it completely. It was near impossible for other peoples’ advice to sway her decision too.

This was the core aspect of her personality.

The Immortal Cloud Sect had rules on apprenticeship. Piao Yun already had a master in immortal cultivation, but if she wanted to learn other things, she was allowed to take up an apprenticeship under different masters. Compared to other sects, the Immortal Cloud Sect was quite open about this.

Of course, her master in immortality cultivation will always be the same person.

There was nothing to stop Piao Yun from trying to seek an apprenticeship under Lin Jin.
