Chapter 320: One Good Thing After Another

Lin Jin finally understood how this Dragonfire spell worked.

Not only could the flames be used for offense, but they also provided miraculous effects during pelletization.

After what he had been through, that wasn’t all the benefits Lin Jin had reaped. Having suffered the nine heaven’s oppression twice, Lin Jin’s spirit energy volume increased by one fold.

His spirit energy reserve was now over a hundred stones.

Although he hadn’t gotten it checked out, Lin Jin estimated that it was around a hundred twenty or thirty stones’ worth.

To be able to possess this level of spirit energy was terrifying. Lin Jin didn’t know about other places, but no one in Maple City’s Friar Association, be it the students or teachers, including Ye Yuzhou, had as much spirit energy as himself.

Only with this much spirit energy could Lin Jin mimic the ancient immortals and store the fire amulet in his psyche.

Lin Jin proceeded to retrieve the Golden Crow feather.

“The legendary bird, Golden Crow. Rank 7. Pure fire attribute…”

The Golden Crow’s details were now recorded in the museum. Unlike Goldy who was a beast with only a hint of its bloodline, the Golden Crow was a real legendary bird.

Simultaneously, Lin Jin heard bell chimes coming from the museum.

“Three hundred rare beasts recorded. You have received the Beast Energy Formation Part Four as a reward.”

Seeing this, Lin Jin smiled.

He finally got it.

The process of obtaining Beast Energy Formation was easy at first, but the difficulty grew as he leveled up. Lin Jin had been waiting for part four for the longest time now, and to think it would arrive today.

It was one lucky strike after another.

Lin Jin immediately called for Shang’er and specifically instructed her to catch Goldy back.

Inside this yard, other than Lin Jin, only Shang’er was capable of capturing Goldy whenever she pleased.

Since when was Goldy tamed by Shang’er? Lin Jin had no idea. Perhaps it was during the time Lin Jin went to the royal capital. As caretaker of the house, Shang’er must have used some trick of her own to accomplish this feat.

“Master Lin, Goldy’s here.” Shang’er bowed at Lin Jin with Goldy in her arms.

Lin Jin nodded.

“Sit down.”

Shang’er put Goldy down and sat quietly beside him.

“Shang’er, I’ll be reading the Beast Energy Formation’s fourth part to you. Memorize and cultivate it. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask away.”

Lin Jin didn’t have time to copy down the Beast Energy Formation part four’s contents. However, as Shang’er possessed an extraordinary memory, she could effortlessly memorize every single word after just listening to something once.

Shang’er’s eyes lit up at Lin Jin’s words.

She already knew the first three parts of the Beast Energy Formation by heart and had cultivated them all. Because of this, she knew how wonderful this cultivation method was.

Shang’er had been stuck at her current level for the longest time now. Although she constantly achieved breakthroughs when it came to spells, her cultivation level had been the same since she met Lin Jin.

Hence, Shang’er felt a little anxious.

She would obviously treasure the Beast Energy Formation Part Four now that she had it. Being on the final leg of her cultivation, this manual will be the final push to her next evolution.

“Master Lin, I’ll be retreating to cultivate.”

Shang’er seemed impatient.

Lin Jin understood her excitement so he nodded. He also told her not to help out at the association for the next few days. She only had to focus on cultivating at home for the time being.

After Shang’er left, Lin Jin and Goldy stared at each other.

Goldy nested comfortably on a cushion, waiting for Lin Jin’s lecture.

Lin Jin looked outside the window to see the first sunrise. He said, “The time is just right. The sun is just rising and the darkness is fading. Now’s the best time to give you this feather.”

Goldy obviously didn’t understand what Lin Jin was saying. But it was fine since Lin Jin did.

The Golden Crow’s feather was much too powerful for Goldy. Lin Jin couldn’t give it to him at night nor other times during the day. At noon sharp, the sun’s energy would be most intense so Goldy probably wouldn’t be able to endure it. Only during sunrise could Goldy endure its might.

Despite it being a mere feather, if everything worked out well, Goldy might just be able to transform into a genuine Golden Crow.

And this was obviously a huge deal for Lin Jin.

In terms of growth rate, even Xiao Huo couldn’t compare to Goldy. Just the thought of being able to command a Golden Crow in the future excited Lin Jin.

No matter how strong a foe they would come across, Goldy would be able to scorch them into pure carbon.

What Lin Jin needed to do next was incredibly important, but it was also pretty easy.

He just had to plant this feather on Goldy.

With this and the consistent nourishment it had received, Goldy should be able to merge with the feather’s powers completely during his next evolution. The transformation would also occur during that stage.

Of course, there was always the risk of failure. However, failure didn’t mean anything to Lin Jin. Goldy would still be Goldy, but if they succeeded, Lin Jin would be able to control a legendary Golden Crow.

Planting the feather was easy. Especially with Lin Jin’s proficiency in the pulse-seeking technique; the task took only moments to complete. Goldy only felt mild discomfort during the process. Since the feather was planted on his back, he couldn’t see it. After turning around for a glance, Goldy ignored it altogether.

Even after a night without sleep, Lin Jin didn’t feel tired at all. Quite the contrary, as he felt quite energetic.

He went to the beast pen to treat Zombie Cthulhu and then ate the breakfast Little Five had prepared. Then, he arrived at the Beast Appraisal Association on time.

In the afternoon, Zuo Wentang came over for a visit.

From his expression, it seemed like Qu Wenji and Tilly were well settled in.

“Chief Lin, let me treat you to lunch,” Zuo Wentang announced happily upon arrival. Since there were outsiders, he addressed Lin Jin as Chief Lin, and likewise, Lin Jin referred to him as Steward Zuo.

This was all Zuo Wentang’s idea. He didn’t want others to know about his close relationship with Lin Jin. After all, the plan now was to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion.

Lin Jin knew that Zuo Wentang had something to tell him so he accepted the invitation. This time, Zuo Wentang didn’t take him to upscale places like Grace Pavilion. Instead, they went to an old restaurant in Maple City. They reserved a private room, where they ordered some dishes and a pot of aged wine.

“Brother Lin, thank you so much for what you’ve done last night. I managed to settle them down overnight and rush back here in time. As expected, City Lord Bai asked me about this and I answered him ‘honestly’. If City Lord Bai ever asks you about this, please don’t reveal anything to him.” Apparently, the guilt of lying was starting to make Zuo Wentang worry.

Lin Jin smiled. “Oh, I would never do that. Worry not, Brother Zuo! My lips are sealed.”

“I believe you.” Zuo Wentang poured Lin Jin a cup of wine. “But I don’t think Grace Pavilion would let this incident end so easily. And now that one of Westward Country’s… has died, I predict something big will happen.”

Lin Jin wore a surprisingly nonchalant expression as he uttered the words, “Dead men tell no tales!”
