Chapter 693: Mysterious Storm Beast

For a moment there, Xuan Yue Zhenren and the others weren't sure if Lin Jin was joking. While she and her group could bear to watch it, Piao Yun couldn't.

She was certain that Lin Jin was a scammer.

"What a waste of time. Even I have to rely on unique spells and experience to pinpoint the exact location of the Storm Beast Cave. Do you foolishly think you can summon the cave just by calling its name? That's just…"

But before she could finish her sentence, a mind-blowing scene unfolded before her eyes.

The sea of clouds before Lin Jin began to consolidate into something that resembled a cloud mountain. At the base of this cloud mountain was a vortex that looked like the entrance of a cave. The clouds continued stirring, which made it look majestic and frightening at the same time.

Didn't that vortex look like a beast's cave?

Lin Jin never saw the Storm Beast Cave before but the other immortals have. Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes widened and they gasped. 

"It's the Storm Beast Cave! Mr. Lin managed to summon it on his own!"

Although inconceivable, such was reality.

Qin Yunshang rubbed her eyes and said no more. To be honest, she was skeptical when Lin Jin called out to the cave. Now, her suspicions were gone. She silently decided that no matter what Lin Jin said from now on, she would never doubt him.

Xuan Yue Zhenren shared the same thought, but her imagination took it a little further.

'Maybe Mr. Lin has used a portion of Curator's powers,' she mused.

The most speechless among them had to be Immortal Piao Yun. She quickly regained her senses and went over to examine the cave, all the while muttering to herself, "This is impossible! How can the Storm Beast Cave heed another's order? Even I can't do this. What on earth is going on?"

By now, everyone's opinion of Lin Jin had changed completely.

Even when viewed from the back, Lin Jin appeared so much more mysterious and wise.

Lin Jin held a tiny brown object in his hand. Fire energy emerged from his fingertips, burning the brown object to release wisps of white smoke. The instant this smoke emerged, it was sucked away by the Storm Beast Cave in front of him.

That startled Lin Jin.

The immortals were shocked by the fact that Lin Jin could summon the Storm Beast Cave with just one sentence. This had never happened before.

On the other hand, Lin Jin was shocked by the cave itself.

Before this, he wondered what a storm beast was, and what the Storm Beast Cave was. It wasn't until he came to the Immortal Cloud Sect and started probing the recesses of these clouds that he finally understood.

By the time he saw it with his own eyes, Lin Jin was blown away. He never knew that a beast could exist in such a form.

It was likely that not even the immortals of this sect, including Xuan Yue Zhenren and their ancestors, knew that the Storm Beast Cave was a ma.s.sive beast.

This was a beast whose form went beyond an average person's understanding of what const.i.tuted a beast.

The sea of clouds in front of Lin Jin, and even the clouds beneath his feet were a part of the Storm Beast Cave.

This was Lin Jin's first time seeing a creature made of clouds, so it naturally surprised him. The information he gained from the museum about the Storm Beast Cave was likely more than what the Immortal Cloud Sect managed to gather over millenniums.

For instance, the Storm Beast Cave was a single storm beast. The storm beasts Xuan Yue Zhenren talked about previously were just tiny divisions of this storm beast.

No one knew when the immortals of the sect started nurturing the Storm Beast Cave from a young age. They did a good job raising it into a big and strong beast. However, every beast had its bottleneck.

Upon reaching this bottleneck, it couldn't split and produce tiny storm beasts. In other words, there was no problem with the Storm Beast Cave. It was just stuck and couldn't advance further.

The Immortal Cloud Sect had no idea this was the case. They didn't even know how to communicate with the Storm Beast Cave. That was why they a.s.sumed something was wrong with it. Seeing how desperate they were, the Immortal Cloud Sect must have gone through a lot over the years.

Their efforts were either ineffective, or they caused adverse effects.

Through the museum, Lin Jin learned that the Storm Beast Cave absorbed nutrients from burning incense, just like how humans ate rice. Lin Jin retrieved a unique-looking kibble from the Feed Mill, something called a 'valleywood'. There wasn't much of it, but Lin Jin hadn't found a use for it until today. Speaking of which, the Feed Mill was able to produce a variety of different kibbles, but it was a challenge to pinpoint their specific purpose. To identify which beasts preferred which type of kibble was even harder.

Thankfully, the museum would always guide Lin Jin onto the right path. Lin Jin may have tried to summon the Storm Beast Cave, but the reason why it revealed itself was the valleywood in his possession.

Once burned, the valleywood would emit the fragrance of lush valleys. This scent was said to be the Storm Beast Cave's favorite, so it immediately answered Lin Jin's call.

While the Storm Beast Cave was a strange beast at the peak of Rank 7, its spiritual intelligence was unfortunately low. According to the museum, it was at the initial stage developing of spiritual intelligence.

In terms of IQ, it was comparable to dogs or cats.

It was no wonder the immortals of the Immortal Cloud Sect couldn't communicate with the Storm Beast Cave. The creature couldn't understand them at all.

Lin Jin calmed down after learning all this. The valleywood's scent clearly excited the Storm Beast Cave. The clouds began to stir harder, and that reminded Lin Jin of a certain image.

A coquettish puppy wagging its tail.

Lin Jin brought out more valleywood and held them in his burning fist. The instant the fragrance of a lush valley wafted from his hands, it was quickly sucked in by the Storm Beast Cave.

As she watched, Xuan Yue Zhenren grew increasingly excited and curious. She wanted to know what exactly Lin Jin did, and what was that incense he burned?

Why was the Storm Beast Cave so fond of it?

It went without saying that the other immortals were surprised and delighted as well. However, seeing how their leader was standing there wordlessly, they were afraid to speak up.

Immortal Piao Yun was especially silent. She went into a huge psychological slump. Her prideful cheekiness and ego shattered into pieces as if they had fallen from the ninth heaven.

Now that her arrogance was destroyed, she stared at Lin Jin's interaction with the Storm Beast Cave. Now, she seemed more like an outsider compared to Lin Jin.

In an instant, clouds gathered below Piao Yun's feet and she flew away.

She didn't want to stay here. She wanted to be in a quiet place. She just wanted to escape somewhere because of how full of herself she acted earlier. If she stayed, she had no idea what to do or say.

Xuan Yue Zhenren sighed at this. She too was at a loss for words. She didn't try to stop Piao Yun, since she had to reap what she sowed.

'Let's hope Piao Yun learns from this lesson,' thought Xuan Yue Zhenren. Perhaps it was a good thing for her junior to experience some hards.h.i.+p from time to time.
