Since Lin Jin wasn't around, he could only continue waiting.
Lu Bin was mocking himself. With his status, even if he wanted to meet Maple City's city lord, he should be the one waiting for him. When had he ever waited for anyone else?
But ever since he met Lin Jin, he had always been at a disadvantage.
He was the one who came to apologize and beg for medicine.
And now, he was the one who had to wait in the cold for an entire night.
Lu Bin would never tell anyone about this anyway. It was too embarrassing. However, it was all worth it. Just based on the fact that Lin Jin had saved the sixth princess from so much pain by giving her the prescription, and the fact that she wanted to meet him, Lu Bin wouldn't hesitate even if he had to wait the entire night.
Finally, when the sun was about to rise, Lu Bin saw someone approaching from afar. It was Lin Jin.
Beside him was the man's pet beast.
Upon seeing this, Lu Bin immediately jumped down from the roof and stood in front of the man.
"Appraiser Lin!" Lu Bin saluted.
Lin Jin was startled.
Anyone would be startled to see someone suddenly appear in front of them so early in the morning.
Upon seeing Lu Bin, Lin Jin was dumbstruck.
"What are you doing here? Is the prescription ineffective? "
Lin Jin asked instinctively.
Lu Bin was startled before understanding dawned on him.
"Appraiser Lin, you've misunderstood. I'm here today to thank you. The prescription for the nine water floating cloud pill is very effective. My young master's condition has been alleviated so he sent me here to thank you."
'Oh, I'm not here to cause trouble. '
Alright then.
Lin Jin was worried that the museum's treatment method would be ineffective. This was just something he did out of convenience and he had almost forgotten about it. If Lu Bin were to come back in a few months, Lin Jin might not even remember who he was.
"You don't have to thank me. I never ask for anything in return for my good deeds. If there's nothing else, you can go back now." Lin Jin knew Lu Bin wasn't an average person.
Lin Jin could tell that from the last time they met.
Not only was Lu Bin's cultivation strong, but his pet beast was also unique. He could even order an eagle beast around at will. People like him were either wealthy or respectable. However, the curse Lin Jin sensed from the cross-dressing woman was extremely terrifying. Even the Museum of Deadly Beasts' treatment focused on delaying the effects of the curse. Based on this, Lin Jin could tell that she was in trouble.
Since that was the case, it was better for him not to get involved.
"Appraiser Lin, please wait!" Lu Bin hurried over. What a joke! He was here to invite Lin Jin to Jade Dragon City as a guest. How could he let Lin Jin send him away just like that?
"Is there anything else?" Lin Jin glanced at him.
Lu Bin could tell that Lin Jin had no intention of inviting him into his house so he went straight to the point.
"I'm here to invite Appraiser Lin to accompany me to Jade Dragon City as a guest. My young master will treat you with great hospitality to thank Appraiser Lin for the prescription."
Lu Bin was full of confidence, but reality slapped him hard in the face.
"Sorry, I don't have time."
Lin Jin answered without hesitation.
Lu Bin's hand trembled.
He knew that the other party might refuse, but he didn't expect that the other party would refuse so decisively, as if he didn't even think about it.
"Appraiser Lin, I think you should reconsider because …" Lu Bin wanted to remind Lin Jin of how rare this opportunity was. But before he could finish, Lin Jin shook his head. "I really don't have time. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
Lin Jin wasn't lying.
He really didn't have time. Tonight was the day the Visitation Hall reopened. Shouldn't he make some preparations?
He planned to properly 'entertain' Old Ye in the Visitation Hall.
Other than that, he had to teach Shang'er and the others every day, especially the great white ape. Now that he was at a crucial point in his cultivation, he couldn't do without him. Moreover, the Friar Association's disciple tournament was just a few days away.
This was related to the lesser dragon blood pill and Xiao Huo's next perfect evolution. Nothing must go wrong.
Hence, no matter who invited him, Lin Jin wouldn't go.
Lu Bin's eyelids twitched in anger but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was here to invite Lin Jin. Lin Jin didn't have time so he couldn't force him.
Fortunately, Lin Jin didn't give him a definite answer. He only said that he didn't have time for now and that he would have time after things were over.
"Then I'll come back in a few days." Lu Bin could only do so.
Thinking about it, he felt helpless. To think that there were people in the Jade Dragon Kingdom that he couldn't invite. But he couldn't afford to be angry. Lin Jin was the sixth princess' savior and he had an extraordinary background. There must be an expert behind him.
That's right, he had to investigate this thoroughly.
Without guidance and care, how could he have three Rank 3 pet beasts by his side? Even the crown prince of Jade Dragon Kingdom wouldn't amount to much.
Lu Bin planned to look into Lin Jin's background. What he found earlier was definitely just the tip of the iceberg.
Lu Bin left.
Firstly, he had to explain the situation to the sixth princess. Secondly, he had to arrange for someone to investigate.
When Lin Jin returned to the yard, Goldy and the shadow wolf immediately surrounded him. Goldy was clucking non-stop while the shadow wolf would growl occasionally. However, they couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Lin Jin had another ability.
He had long realized that he could read a pet beast's thoughts. Of course, it was just a basic understanding of what the pet beast wanted to do.
Just like now. He knew that Goldy and the shadow wolf were trying to tell him that someone had broken into the yard while he was away. More importantly, they were the ones who chased the intruder out.
It seemed like they were here to claim credit.
Lin Jin patted Goldy and the shadow wolf on their heads, praising them.
As for who the intruder was, Lin Jin knew that other than Lu Bin, it couldn't be anyone else.
If anyone else were here, they wouldn't be able to escape. Only an expert like Lu Bin could leave so easily.
Lin Jin had his own guesses about Lu Bin's identity.
All in all, this Lu Bin was either rich or respectable. Moreover, he hailed from Jade Dragon City. Jade Dragon City was the capital of Jade Dragon Kingdom, a place where nobles and famous people gathered. It couldn't be compared to a small place like Maple City. Perhaps this Lu Bin and the cross-dressing woman were the nobles of Jade Dragon City.
Lin Jin wasn't worried about offending Lu Bin.
The reason was simple. The other party had to rely on Lin Jin.
The curse on that cross-dressing woman was no laughing matter. After some research, Lin Jin found out that although the Museum of Deadly Beasts had a way to remove the curse, it was incredibly difficult.
How difficult?
Even Lin Jin wasn't confident he could eradicate the disease completely.
They were both curses, but Tan Lin's was easier to remove. Hence, the difficulty of removing the curse differed due to the difference in level.
Hence, even if it was for the sake of that cross-dressing woman, Lu Bin wouldn't dare to do anything to Lin Jin. Lin Jin knew this very well.
Once he was done with his work, he could follow Lu Bin to Jade Dragon City for a visit. But now, he really didn't have the time.
The most important thing today was to wait for the Visitation Hall to open.
Because he needed to obtain the necessary materials for Xiao Huo's perfect evolution from the visitors. If Lin Jin were to rely on himself, it would take him a year and a half just to gather these materials. He might even need to spend tens of thousands of silvers.
This was probably the least he could afford.
Some materials could only be purchased with spirit stones. Moreover, they were priceless because they were too rare.
In other words, any high-level pet beast was a bottomless pit of money. Rank 2 was fine, but once it was promoted to Rank 3, it wouldn't be something an average person or family could afford.
Just like the Zu family, they needed a long time to prepare for the two-headed snake to evolve to Rank 3.
Lin Jin had been lucky before, but now that Xiao Huo wanted to evolve from Rank 3 to Rank 4, with Lin Jin's current rate of 'earning', he wouldn't be able to support such a huge expenditure in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the appearance of the Visitation Hall gave Lin Jin another channel to gather materials.
Otherwise, if he wanted to evolve Xiao Huo in a short period of time, not only would Lin Jin have to spend a huge sum of money, but he might also have to choose a normal evolution instead of a perfect one.
Of course, Lin Jin knew he couldn't completely rely on the Visitation Hall.
Who knew if the Visitation Hall would suddenly close down? Hence, Tang An had to consider how he could 'earn' money.
Without money, he could forget about evolving his pet beast.
Lin Jin remained calm. Today, he was at the Beast Appraisal Association's hall to guide Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun in beast appraisal. Now that Jia Qian was here, Lin Jin felt more at ease.
Jia Qian's reputation as the number one apprentice wasn't just for show. She was truly capable. Moreover, under Lin Jin's guidance, she had improved tremendously. At least to Lin Jin, Jia Qian was no different from an official beast appraiser now.
She was already very close to becoming an official beast appraiser. Now that she had calmed down, her progress was naturally swift.
Lin Jin was relaxed, but the same couldn't be said for the other visitors of the Visitation Hall.
Inside the Friar Association, Ye Yuzhou had shut his door and declined all visitors for the entire day. Other than giving Yang Jie a lesson in the morning, no one was allowed to disturb him at other times.
Of course, Ye Yuzhou had prepared a lot of rare materials he had collected over the years. Some of them he couldn't bear to use himself, so he took them with him to bring to the Visitation Hall.
After all, this was what the curator had instructed him to do. Ye Yuzhou was a proud and arrogant person. In this life, there were only a handful of people who could convince him. His own teacher, Lu Yaogong, the emperor of Jade Dragon Kingdom, and finally, the curator.
Moreover, in Ye Yuzhou's eyes, the Curator was more mysterious and unfathomable.
He still had many questions he wanted to ask the Curator today so he had to give him some benefits.
Ye Yuzhou felt the same way as Seventh Princess He Qing in the faraway Jade Dragon Kingdom's royal capital.
She was in a hurry this time.
A few days ago, she had obtained some blood from her sister, He Yu, and it was stored in a crystal bottle.
Previously, the Curator had said that he would have to see if the bestial soul curse could be broken. Either they could bring the cursed person here, which was obviously unrealistic, or they could bring the person's blood. Hence, He Qing had tried her best to convince He Yu to agree.
However, the curse on He Yu was no trivial matter. He Qing was well aware of this. Could the curator see through it? Was there a way to break it?
These were all unknowns.
What if even the Curator couldn't do anything?
Hence, He Qing was anxious.
