Museum of Deadly Beasts Chapter 763

Chapter 763 - Xie Sanhuan’s Request

Lin Jin was stunned to hear of Xie Sanhuan’s method, musing at how amazing the man was to have thought of such an idea, and had the resolution to execute it.

The path of cultivation was a gruesome one. Even during the immortal era, not all cultivators could achieve immortality.

Destroying hundreds, even thousands of years’ worth of cultivation wasn’t something anyone could easily do, nor would they be willing to.

But on second thought, Lin Jin knew that Xie Sanhuan had no choice.

Xie Sanhuan must have completed his research of Mortal Conversion long ago but he probably didn’t use it because he was reluctant to part with his immortal cultivation.

Being pursued by the immortal devouring beast, he could lose his life at any instant, so that situation didn’t leave room for hesitation. Survival was of utmost importance.

But speaking of which, this Mortal Conversion felt very much like a suicide attempt. Because if Xie Sanhuan hadn’t been lucky enough to meet Lin Jin and for the latter to forcibly bond a two-headed vulture with him, he would have died.

Lin Jin told Xie Sanhuan what happened and the latter stared back at him, wide-eyed. To think he was forcefully bound to this two-headed vulture while he was at the brink of death.

He basically figured out the theory of the blood contract just by its term. So it was no wonder the bird looked at him so kindly.

At first, Xie Sanhuan wasn’t used to his mortal identity so he continued putting on airs, trying to show off his immortal background because Lin Jin was only a mortal. But after a round of beating, he behaved.

Not only did he behave, but he also came to accept reality.

This person here was a mortal too but possessed greater strength than he did. After further understanding, Xie Sanhuan was sure that Lin Jin’s strength was equivalent to an immortal’s.

The strange beast Lin Jin controlled in particular had strength that exceeded an average immortal. Otherwise, how could it catch a two-headed vulture alive?

Also, he had never heard of forcing a blood contract before. But now, he had a good impression of it because his life was being prolonged by this two-headed vulture.

After setting aside his arrogance and inexplicable sense of superiority, Xie Sanhuan was quite a nice person. He began chatting with Lin Jin sincerely. Lin Jin answered everything as best as he could, and he asked Xie Sanhuan almost everything he wanted to know.

With this, he learned of the immortal prison’s existence and knew how the other immortals prolonged their lives in these two thousand years.

He also learned of their biggest threat—their expiring lifespans.

“Mr. Lin, I have something to request of you.” A thought seemed to have come to Xie Sanhuan’s mind and he got up to salute, behaving oddly serious.

“Spill.” Lin Jin already lost his hopes for immortals’ integrity. Without their immortal status, some immortals couldn’t actually compare to educated mortals.

“I only risked coming out here because of my good friend, Liugong. However, our mission failed and Liugong had died, but there are still other immortals hiding in the prison. Can you go to the immortal prison and tell them about this Mortal Conversion spell? So at least when their lives were to give out soon, they could leave the prison and not die inside there.”

Having said that, he bowed again.

So, what he wanted was for Lin Jin to help him to convey a message to the immortals in the immortal prison.

Truth be told, Lin Jin wanted to go and take a look as well.

During their conversation, Xie Sanhuan had told Lin Jin how many immortals were in prison, how glorious they used to be, and how many of them used to be officials of high rank.

But now, they had become insects, only trying to extend their lives. They would never leave that place unless they were about to die.

With so many immortals there, they must know many things, so of course Lin Jin wanted to take a look. To be honest, he was reaping more benefits here in the Nine-Heaven Realm than he had expected.

“Also, I know of a place where pills are being stored. There might be life-extension pills there. If you have a need for them, I can show you the way,” Xie Sanhuan said.

Lin Jin smiled, thinking how impressive this Xie Sanhuan was. Perhaps it was because he turned mortal, he wanted everyone else to be like him. Hence, he was asking Lin Jin to convey the Mortal Conversion spell to the surviving immortals. Lin Jin could tell that much from how Xie Sanhuan had kept this a secret even when he was still hiding in prison.

As for retrieval of pills, although he said he would be showing Lin Jin the way, he would surely try to keep some for his own use too. Why wouldn’t he go on his own? He didn’t dare to because there might be dangers during the journey.

However, Lin Jin couldn’t be bothered to expose him.

Since it was a win-win situation, he didn’t need to be so pedantic. Xie Sanhuan probably knew it too, that was why Lin Jin was impressed. If he offered an idea that benefited only himself, Lin Jin surely wouldn’t go along with it.

They would retrieve the pill first.

Sure enough, there were dangers along the way. Strong beasts obstructed their path and Xie Sanhuan couldn’t have defeated them on his own. But with Lin Jin around, they had no issue.

They easily passed through and obtained the pills.

Because none of them exuded an immortal aura, they need not worry about the immortal devouring beast.

Everything went so smoothly that even Xie Sanhuan was shocked. When they arrived and destroyed the restriction spells, Lin Jin saw many pills but he didn’t recognize most of them. Xie Sanhuan proactively explained their effects.

No doubt, the life-extension pill was the best item here. Xie Sanhuan’s eyes had lit up upon seeing them, and his desire for them was obvious.

If he could live a long life, being mortal didn’t seem so bad.

Lin Jin gave Xie Sanhuan a few and he quickly swallowed it. With this, he could live up to a hundred years old at least.

Also, his movements were no longer restricted. If he gradually got stronger without regaining immortal status, the Nine-Heaven Realm had tons of other treasures waiting for him.

With this in mind, Xie Sanhuan suddenly thought there were many merits to becoming mortal.

“You’re not going to the prison?” Lin Jin asked. Xie Sanhuan answered him honestly, “I have friends but also enemies there. Also, I feel guilty for not telling everyone about the Mortal Conversion, so I don’t know how to face them. I’ll be troubling Mr. Lin to make this trip.”

He wasn’t lying. That was indeed his reason.

Lin Jin could sense his sincerity so he said no more. Right now, the Mortal Conversion spell wasn’t enough, it had to be paired with forming a blood contract to work.

Otherwise, this Mortal Conversion would only be an act of suicide.

How could immortals convert back to being mortals so easily?

After learning that Lin Jin was seeking Golden Tian Luo Pills, Xie Sanhuan said, “Mr. Lin, I know of this premium-grade pill, but it’s a pity that my cultivation is weak. I’ve never seen one, nor consumed it before. It’s probably in the third sky and above. Zixiao Palace might have some, but the journey is too dangerous that I can’t be of assistance.”

Lin Jin was already used to Xie Sanhuan’s character so he didn’t have any expectations for him.

With this, the two parted ways. It was obvious that Xie Sanhuan feared Lin Jin. They didn’t journey together because he was afraid that Lin Jin might hit him.

Working alone, with the two-headed vulture to protect him and a little extra diligence, he should be fine..

Lin Jin never imagined he would ever transmigrate. And to such a peculiar world at that. Here, deadly beasts were regarded as sacred, and thankfully, he owned a museum for deadly beasts. “Master, this is just a dying little tortoise…” “What tortoise? This is a rare species that contains the blood of a Black Tortoise and could be promoted up to level seven.” “What about this shedding mongrel?” “Mongrel? How narrow-minded. This is a branch descendant of the snarling hound with a hint of Kirin’s blood. Take my word for it and sign the blood contract at once. I guarantee you that you’ll soar to success and be on your path to invincibility!”
