Shaking his head, Lin Jin couldn't be bothered to explain. If he had the time, he might as well search for the ingredients to refine the six sun beast soul pill.
Noticing Lin Jin's surprise, the woman's expression darkened but she didn't say anything. She nodded politely and got up to leave.
Perhaps it was due to her poor physique or her sudden anemia, her body swayed as she stood up. If Lin Jin hadn't caught her in time, she would have fallen to the ground.
However, the moment Lin Jin grabbed the man's hand, his expression changed.
"What's going on?!"
The old man in black immediately rushed over, glaring at Lin Jin. Fortunately, the woman waved him off. "I lost my balance."
Having said that, she tried to pull her hand back.
She didn't manage to.
The woman was stunned. Before she could pull her hand back a second time, a tinge of red appeared on her pale face. Her eyes were filled with embarrassment and anger.
She had to pull her hand away from Lin Jin's grasp again.
After glaring at Lin Jin, she turned to leave.
"Wait!" It was Lin Jin who spoke. His expression was stern but the woman didn't even turn around. The old man following behind her had a frightening gaze.
Lin Jin quickly added, "The curse is deeply rooted in your body and it's beyond cure. But I can save you!"
It was a pity that the woman was too far away to hear him. Even if she did, she wouldn't believe him. The old man in black turned to look at Lin Jin before taking a step forward and pointing a finger.
Xiao Huo growled and charged forward but was repelled by an invisible force. Even Lin Jin felt as if he had taken a few punches. Blood surged in his chest and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was actually injured.
"Shameless braggart! Let me teach you a lesson so you'll remember it!"
Having said that, he left.
Lin Jin had no idea what was going on. The old man suddenly turned hostile and hit him. Did he think Lin Jin had no temper? Sigh, that's not right. Lin Jin really couldn't take revenge. This old man was obviously an expert. Lin Jin and Xiao Huo couldn't even stand a single finger.
"F * ck, I was going to tell you to take the nine water floating cloud pill and dracaena once every seven days. But now, I'm not going to tell you … Wait, that's not right. The b * stard hasn't paid yet. Don't run! Pay the appraisal fee and consultation fee first!"
Lin Jin chased after them for a few steps but they were nowhere to be found.
This infuriated Lin Jin.
He had done nothing wrong out of goodwill, so how did things end up like this?
Fortunately, although he was injured, it was not serious. However, the injury was a small matter, but the loss of face was a big matter.
Looking around, no one bothered with him. Lin Jin let out a dry cough and left helplessly.
The injury wasn't serious. The old man had clearly controlled his strength. Others might not be able to tell, but Lin Jin could. While it seemed like the old man had done it himself, he was actually borrowing the strength of his pet beast.
His pet beast was of a very high rank.
This made Lin Jin realize that if he fell behind, he would get beaten up. Fists were the only way to win.
Xiaohuo's advancement was imperative.
Despite his anger, Lin Jin didn't rest. He still had some copper coins with him but it was impossible to buy the materials needed to concoct the six sun beast soul pill. The materials alone were a huge expense.
The association had deducted his salary, so he probably wouldn't be able to get it. Even if he did get it, it would be far from enough. Therefore, he could only think of a way himself.
Now, Lin Jin's eyes were filled with a thirst for money.
Lin Jin had found a way to earn a huge sum of money in a short period of time.
Many people lined up outside the Beast Appraisal Association every day. While there were plenty of people here for evaluation, there were even more people here for treatment.
To put it bluntly, it was common for pet beasts to get sick or injured. Hence, there were more customers for this type of treatment. The fact that there were so many scalpers at the entrance every day proved that there was a problem.
However, not everyone could get in line with their favorite specialist, and not every beast appraiser in the association could appraise a pet beast. It was the same for illnesses as well.
There were always some rare species that they couldn't recognize and some difficult illnesses that they couldn't treat.
Hence, there were many scammers out there who specifically targeted these people, thinking of ways to scam and earn money. Lin Jin planned to join them. Of course, he wasn't scamming people.
He was a man of genuine ability and knowledge.
It was against the association's rules to not be recognized when he was doing this. Hence, Lin Jin went back and tinkered with it. As for the association, he had been sitting on the bench all this time and no one had looked for him, so no one would notice him.
After changing into a new set of clothes, he put on a hat, cut some of Xiao Huo's fur and stuck it on his face as a beard. Then, he stuck a plaster on his forehead. With that, Lin Jin's appearance changed so much that even those who knew him well wouldn't be able to recognize him.
In the yard, Xiao Huo and Goldy watched curiously as Lin Jin tinkered with his work. He couldn't bring Xiao Huo along for this or else he would be recognized and Lin Jin would have to go out on his own.
Along the way to the Beast Appraisal Association, Lin Jin saw a bustling crowd.
Just as he entered, someone leaned over and whispered, "Brother, do you want a number? I have the numbers of all the experts in the association. Even Chief Wang's number isn't a problem as long as you have enough money. "
Lin Jin asked, "Do you have Appraiser Lin's number?"
"Who? Which Appraiser Lin?" Yellow Ox was clearly stunned.
"Lin Jin, Appraiser Lin!" Lin Jin looked expectant.
After a long while, the man finally snapped out of his daze and cursed, "You're crazy! What number does that piece of trash want? Go and queue up yourself."
Having said that, he walked away while cursing.
Lin Jin cursed back and sighed at the same time. He was so famous that even the yellow ox had heard of him.
Lin Jin squatted in a corner and observed for a while. He had a rough idea of what was going on here. Judging by the frowns and swearing faces of the people coming out of the association, it must be because the association couldn't solve their problems. These people must be his potential customers.
After observing for a while, Lin Jin figured out what was going on. Then, he chose a fat man who looked like a rich man and walked over.
Qian Youde was frustrated.
As the owner of more than ten shops in Maple City, he loved to show off in front of others. Not only did he dress extravagantly and wear gold rings on all ten of his fingers, even his pet beast who formed a blood contract with him had to be classy.
It was a leopard that he bought from a foreign merchant at a high price.
Qian Youde felt that only a beast with gold spots all over its body would fit his status as a rich man. Usually, he doted on this pet beast, giving it good food and drinks and even having someone to serve it. Whenever he went out, he would let his pet beast clear the way for him. It was a sight to behold.
However, his pet beast had fallen sick recently. It was dispirited and not only was it big, but it was also shedding its fur.
Qian Youde couldn't tolerate this. Even after coming to the association several times to seek Chief Wang for treatment, the other ailments were all cured but the shedding only worsened.
How could a leopard not have any money on it?
Yet, even Chief Wang couldn't do anything about it. Even after taking several doses of medicine, the leopard didn't seem to get better.
Just as he was fretting, he heard someone say, "This leopard, is it shedding?"
'F * ck, this is touching my sore spot. '
Qian Youde was immediately infuriated. He turned around to see a man with a plaster on his face and a gray beard. One look and Qian Youde knew he wasn't a good person.
"Get lost. I'm in a bad mood today. Be careful of me … Jin … Jin Man, what are you doing? Come back here!"
Jin Man was the name Qian Youde had given to his pet beast. It symbolized wealth and riches. Usually, this leopard was quite ferocious. Other than obeying its master, Qian Youde, no one else in the Qian family was allowed to touch it. There was once a servant in the manor who was almost bitten to death because he wasn't paying attention.
But now, this ferocious leopard was obediently rubbing itself against the hand of the person in front of it. It was even behaving intimately.
Qian Youde's eyes widened in disbelief.
The one who had tamed the leopard so easily was obviously Lin Jin. As he had recorded one hundred pet beasts in the museum, the museum rewarded him with the 'Beast Deterrence' ability. As long as it was a beast below Rank 3, he could basically intimidate and tame it with his hands.
This move had indeed stunned Qian You De. At this moment, Lin Jin didn't say a word. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything done if he tried to rush things. Sometimes, he had to act like an expert.
