Museum of Deadly Beasts
chapter-663

Spirit devouring ghost worm, Rank 6 insect beast, scarce in existence, refined with five elements. Of extreme Yin attribute, and doesn't fear fire. Loves devouring immortal aura and eating immortal flesh.

The three evolution methods are… the four refining methods are…

As Lin Jin stared at the floating creature's grotesque appearance in the museum, his brows furrowed.

This creature was pure evil.

Originally, the spirit devouring ghost worm was a unique and rare breed. Since the museum described it as 'scarce in existence', they might only be a handful of them in the wild. These worms might even be the only ones that ever existed.

This meant they were rarer than the endangered creatures from Lin Jin's old world. Pandas were an example he could think of at the moment.

These spirit devouring ghost worms were refined by Yan Shenjun's unique sorcery, so that made them magic treasures.

Living magic treasures.

This was indeed a rare sight.

Even powerful profound immortals like Inferno Monk had no hope of fighting them off.

With Lin Jin's level of cultivation, even if he relied on his magic treasures, he would be worse off than Inferno Monk if he was infected by these worms simply because he was a mortal.

Lin Jin didn't have any immortal aura for them to devour, so the worms would focus entirely on eating this flesh, and that would mean instant death.

Xiang Yun knew this, which was why she tried to stop Lin Jin from making contact with the worms; she didn't want to see him courting death.

However, neither Inferno Monk nor Xiang Yun was aware of one fact.

Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts.

It didn't matter how powerful or how high the creatures' rank was. Every detail would be laid out for Lin Jin to see.

According to the law of nature, the stronger a creature was, the more fatal its weakness was.

Most people would never be able to find out these weaknesses. This was what gave Lin Jin the ultimate advantage. Even if he wasn't an immortal, under the right circumstances, he could dish out attacks or tactics that even immortals couldn't possibly achieve.

This was one such instance.

After reading the spirit devouring ghost worm's refinement method, he confidently reached for a worm once more.

Inferno Monk and Xiang Yun were stunned.

This would have been unsurprising if Lin Jin was still unaware of the risks. It baffled them when they saw him courting death when they had clearly warned him about the worms.

"No!"

"What are you doing?"

Both of them called out at once. However, Lin Jin seemed determined. No matter what the two said, he seized a spirit devouring ghost worm with his hand.

This creature looked like a strange tentacle, or a fat earthworm covered in blotches. Anyway, they weren't nice to hold.

If Lin Jin had to describe them in one word, he would call them 'disgusting'.

Like chewed bubblegum, once the creature latched onto one's skin, it would never let go.

"Be careful, this thing can corrode flesh and instantly bond with your body so you can't cut it off no matter how…" said Inferno Monk anxiously. Halfway through the process, he noticed something bizarre.

The spirit devouring ghost worm Lin Jin had in his hand was peeled off of Inferno Monk's body.

Before this, the old monk tried every method and failed to remove the worms from his body. Was Lin Jin just relying on dumb luck?

He didn't see Lin Jin use any unique methods either. The man just grabbed and tugged at the worms.

What was going on?

With one spirit devouring ghost worm removed, Inferno Monk felt slightly better. There were still more than ten of these worms crawling over his body. Some had even dived into and latched themselves onto his organs so they were even harder to remove.

While he was still in shock, Lin Jin put the first worm down before moving to grab a second one.

The second one merely poked its head out and Lin Jin forcefully pulled it out of Inferno Monk's flesh. The scene looked like it was ripped from a sci-fi movie, but Inferno Monk felt strangely pleased.

By the time Lin Jin took out the second one, Xiang Yun was dumbstruck.

She couldn't imagine how Lin Jin did it. He made it look so easy, effortless even. He acted as if he was merely picking something up and placing it down elsewhere.

Simple as that.

Of course, she knew that there was more than meets the eye.

Upon closer observation, she noticed how the spirit devouring ghost worms never struggled when Lin Jin caught them. This was very different from the spirit devouring ghost worm she knew about.

These devilish creatures were notoriously violent so why would they behave when Lin Jin grabbed them? They would usually struggle incessantly and attack their captor.

This scene looked familiar. Right, Xiang Yun remembered. It was the same as when Yan Shenjun held them. Instead of resisting, the ghost worms were very docile.

How could this be?

Xiang Yun's mind was in a mess. Meanwhile, Lin Jin had already removed the third and fourth worm.

Everything went smoothly and even Lin Jin was surprised.

The refinement method offered by the museum was actually quite simple. Like a sturdy metal door, without a key, it was near impossible to pass through. No matter how one struck at it or hacked at it with weapons, besides creating loud noises, the result would be the same.

Everything becomes easier with a key. Thanks to the museum, Lin Jin had grasped the key to controlling these spirit devouring ghost worms. From what he read, Lin Jin just had to imbue unique mana into these worms to effectively calm them down and refine them.

Once again, this demonstrated how useful the museum was as Lin Jin continued to tear away all the ghost worms from Inferno Monk's body.

Some of the worms had grown up to three feet long, and as he pulled them out, Inferno Monk couldn't describe the bliss he felt. Even with Lin Jin's strong mind, goosebumps appeared on his body when he imagined the feeling of these worms crawling on his body.

When the last worm was pulled out, Inferno Monk let out a sigh of relief. Like a free reigned horse, his aura began to overflow.

The death aura and signs of weakness were gone too.

This was a near-death experience for Inferno Monk. When he heard death knocking on the door, he had already surrendered himself to fate.

However, once the fatal danger was removed, it was near effortless for profound immortals to regain their health and heal their wounds.
