The moment Yang Jie arrived, he immediately became the center of attention.
Zu Can leaned over and whispered, "What's so good about him? He's just born with good looks."
Lin Jin agreed with this so he nodded profusely.
This was clearly a man's envy and jealousy.
"Appraiser Lin, you've done our Zu family a great favor today so you must come over as a guest. Everyone in the Zu family will welcome you with open arms," Zu Tianhong said sincerely.
As the patriarch of the Zu family, he was considered Lin Jin's father in terms of age. But now, he had to humble himself.
Because Lin Jin was truly capable.
Not only was he capable, but Zu Tianhong could also see Lin Jin's limitless future.
As the head of a large family, how could he not see this? As long as they could maintain a good relationship with Lin Jin, the Zu family would only benefit in the future.
Lin Jin couldn't refuse this time. Moreover, it was Zu Tianhong who personally invited him so he nodded in agreement.
Although he had only chosen one pet beast for the Zu family in this auction, this one pet beast alone was comparable to all of the Zu family's current pet beasts.
Just the thought of this pet beast starting at Rank 2 and being able to evolve into Rank 3 within a year made Zu Tianhong feel ten years younger.
After leaving the auction, Zu Can seemed to have remembered something. He approached Zu Tianhong and asked, "Father, should we call Yingying back?"
That Yang Jie is already fully fledged and I heard that he's already engaged. Even if he wasn't, with Yang Jie's arrogance, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be interested in our Zu family. Yingying is just fooling around. Appraiser Lin, on the other hand, is only at the beginning of his flight. His future is limitless. "Zu Tianhong was stunned at first before nodding.
"Father, that's what I thought too!" Zu Can chuckled. But when he saw Lin Jin, he quickly shut up.
Lin Jin wanted Lu Xiaoyun to tag along but despite her straightforward personality, Lu Xiaoyun was a smart girl. The Zu family was here to thank Lin Jin so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to tag along.
"Master Lin, I still have to wait for my brother to come out," Lu Xiaoyun declined.
Lin Jin gave it some thought and agreed so he didn't insist. After bidding farewell, he left with Zu Can and his son.
The Zu family was very attentive to their hospitality. Before they left, they even had their servants deliver many gifts so Lin Jin couldn't refuse.
When Lin Jin got home, he noticed a stack of banknotes among the pile of gifts.
After counting, there were actually a thousand taels of silver.
Since Lin Jin had helped the Zu family pick out a pet beast with great potential, the Zu family obviously wouldn't let him do it for free. But since they were afraid that Lin Jin wouldn't accept it if they gave it to him directly, they thought of hiding the banknotes in the gift.
Lin Jin smiled. Since the man had gone this far, it would be hypocritical of him to turn back now.
What's more, he really needed money now.
Even if he accepted it, he would feel at ease.
It was late at night. Since Lin Jin had taken a nap in the afternoon, he couldn't fall asleep despite feeling tipsy.
In the small courtyard, Xiao Huo lay down and basked in the moonlight. Big Yellow stood on the roof and raised its chicken head arrogantly. No one knew what it was looking at. The Shadow Wolf was still sleeping in the beast pen.
After giving it some thought, Lin Jin took out his needles and used the pulse-seeking technique to prick his own acupoints to force the alcohol out of his body.
The more he studied it, the more he realized how powerful the Pulse-Seeking Needle Technique was. For example, the Coiled Wire Needle that he comprehended today was a technique that could both attack and defend. It could even kill without leaving a trace.
To put it simply, Lin Jin didn't even need to use Xiao Huo now. With his acupuncture technique alone, he could take on some strong warriors and pet beasts.
After using the needles to prick his blood and mobilizing his spirit energy, Lin Jin opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of alcohol, which turned into a huge cloud of alcohol mist.
Lin Jin felt much better now. After all, alcohol still lingered in his body, so he would more or less feel uncomfortable.
Turning to look at Xiao Huo, Lin Jin decided to use the coiled wire needle to prick Xiao Huo's blood and unblock his veins since he had nothing better to do.
Xiao Huo was an average creature with no hidden bloodline nor was he a rare beast. But now, he had progressed much further than most pet beasts.
He had reached Rank 3.
Generally speaking, for a fire wolf of Xiao Huo's species, reaching Rank 2 was already difficult. Rank 3 was the limit.
There was almost no other way for him to advance further.
However, Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts, which showed that Xiao Huo still had the potential to evolve. Even if he didn't have the potential, Lin Jin would find a way to create more potential for him so that he could evolve.
Using acupuncture to expand Xiao Huo's spirit veins every day was one of the ways to improve.
However, after performing acupuncture on Xiao Huo this time, Xiao Huo seemed to have undergone some changes.
Not only did his aura improve, but there was also an additional evolution method in the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
Lin Jin's eyes lit up when he saw it.
It was yet another perfect way to advance.
Lin Jin knew better than anyone else how great a perfect evolution was. It was thanks to the perfect evolution that Xiao Huo was able to leap from Rank 1 to Rank 3 in one go, completing his evolution.
Of course, a perfect evolution wasn't easy either. The fire spirit crystal and six suns beast soul pill were extremely difficult to obtain. Lin Jin managed to obtain them not only because of the museum, but also because of luck.
It was also because the previous perfect evolution brought him too many benefits that Lin Jin had become picky. He planned to follow the perfect evolution method for Xiao Huo's future evolutions.
If the perfect evolution method didn't appear, then he would just have to wait.
His wait was clearly fruitful.
After using the pulse-seeking technique to unblock and strengthen Xiao Huo's spirit veins, Lin Jin appraised Xiao Huo again and the perfect evolution method finally appeared.
Lin Jin quickly studied it.
The perfect evolution method this time required very special items.
First, Lin Jin had to master the 'coiled wire needle'. Currently, Lin Jin had only grasped the technique and was still quite a distance away from mastering it.
Next, he needed various rare herbs and fire spirit crystals.
Lin Jin was already mentally prepared for these but the last item, the 'dragon blood pill', left him at a loss.
After studying the dragon blood pill carefully, Lin Jin found out that it was a pill refined by a professional alchemist using rare dragon blood essence. It had the miraculous effect of cleansing a pet beast's body and strengthening its bloodline.
Lin Jin understood now. The main point was the 'strengthening bloodline' part.
Bloodlines were extremely important to pet beasts and among the many types of bloodlines, dragon blood was definitely the best. The perfect evolution method that Lin Jin saw had very broad requirements for the dragon blood pill.
In other words, no matter what grade it was, as long as it was a dragon blood pill, it would be fine.
The problem was, where could he get his hands on this dragon blood pill?
The next morning, after washing up, Lin Jin brought Xiao Huo and Goldy to the Beast Appraisal Association.
At the entrance, when the guards saw Lin Jin, they immediately greeted him with smiles, not daring to show any signs of neglect. It was as if their attempt to stop Lin Jin yesterday had never happened.
The apprentices he met all went up to greet him. Even if they were quite a distance away, they would still jog over in a respectful manner.
Many female apprentices in particular took the initiative to greet him, their eyes filled with admiration.
It turned out that yesterday's incident had already spread throughout the Beast Appraisal Association.
