"What about the beast soul? If I win and you say you don't have it, I won't be able to do anything about it. So, you better prepare your items first. What I want is at least a rank one superior fire attribute beast soul. If you don't have it, then don't waste my time. "
Lin Jin waved.
"Who said I don't have it?" Lu Xiaoyun couldn't take the provocation anymore. She took out a beast soul amulet and a ball of crimson spirit energy surged on it. It was a rank one superior beast soul and it was a fire attribute one at that.
Coincidentally, this beast soul was given to Lu Xiaoyun by her brother a few days ago to help her raise her red fox's potential. Coincidentally, her pet beast was also of the fire attribute.
She really did have it?
Lin Jin smiled and rubbed his hands together. With this beast soul, he could refine the six sun beast soul pill. Together with the fire spirit crystal, Xiao Huo would definitely evolve.
At this, Lin Jin reached out to grab Lu Xiaoyun's pet beast.
"No!" Zhao Ying was startled while Lu Xiaoyun was secretly delighted. This pet beast of hers was no ordinary beast. Her brother, Lu Xun, had traveled all over the state to find this mutated beast. Despite its small size, it was extremely ferocious. Although it was only a rank one, it could take on a rank two pet beast in a real fight.
The other party had overestimated himself by reaching out without her permission. Wasn't he just asking for trouble? Lu Xiaoyun immediately took out a bronze beast token and cast a spell, commanding her pet beast to retaliate. At the very least, she wanted to rip the other party's clothes off and humiliate him in front of everyone.
Upon receiving the order, the red fox's fur stood on end. It bared its fangs and let out a low growl.
By now, Lin Jin had reached out and placed his hand on the red fox's head.
It didn't resist, it didn't attack, and it didn't even try to dodge.
It just obediently allowed Lin Jin to rub and rub its fur.
Clang!
The beast token in Lu Xiaoyun's hand fell to the ground. Her face was full of disbelief. Zhao Ying, who was beside her, felt that this scene was familiar. Yesterday in Everlasting Town, that Wei Changyong or something seemed to have the same expression on his face.
'I was worrying too much. Appraiser Lin is an expert so how could he not be aware of the danger? Since he did it, he must be confident. I can't make such a big fuss out of nothing in the future, 'Zhao Ying reminded herself.
Lu Xiaoyun was really surprised.
She pointed at Lin Jin and stammered, "You … what did you do to my pet beast?"
Lin Jin didn't answer. Instead, he closed his eyes. To outsiders, he looked like he was deep in thought, but in fact, he was reading the words on the museum's stone tablet.
"I see!" After a long while, Lin Jin opened his eyes and patted the red fox's head. Then, he grabbed the fox by the nape of its neck and tossed it into the pond nearby.
The Red Fox fell into the water, creating a splash.
"Ah!" Lu Xiaoyun was shocked. "What are you doing?"
Having said that, he was about to charge at Lin Jin angrily.
Zhao Ying was also shocked, but she reacted quickly and hurriedly pulled the furious Lu Xiaoyun back. At this moment, a scorching heat surged from the bottom of the pond, and then a red shadow broke through the water and landed in front of Lu Xiaoyun.
"Xiao Hu!" Lu Xiaoyun hurriedly picked the creature up, her heart aching for it. Then, she gritted her teeth at Lin Jin and glared at him.
Anyone would be infuriated to have their beloved pet beast thrown into the water.
Lu Xiaoyun was about to make a move, but what happened next left her dumbfounded. Her pet beast, the red fox, scurried over to Lin Jin and wagged its tail.
'Why are you wagging your tail? You're not a dog!'
Lu Xiaoyun was on the verge of breaking down.
Without another word, Lin Jin reached out to grab the red fox by the nape of its neck again. This time, he even swung it around before tossing it into the pond.
Forget Lu Xiaoyun, even Zhao Ying was dumbfounded by what Lin Jin was doing. She was rendered speechless.
With a whoosh, it leaped out of the water only to be thrown back down again by Lin Jin. This happened several times in a row. Zhao Ying discreetly nudged Lu Xiaoyun and whispered, "Does your pet beast have a penchant for suffering?"
Lu Xiaoyun's expression was as cold as ice. Spirit energy surged from her body as she took a step forward and said, "Enough!"
She was truly enraged.
Lin Jin continued to ignore her. Upon closer inspection, one could see sweat beading on his forehead. The red fox leaped up again and scurried over to Lin Jin, wagging its tail.
This time, Lin Jin shook his head. "That's enough. You've almost drained my spirit energy. That's enough."
Having said that, he sat down cross-legged and performed a hand seal to recover his lost spirit energy.
Zhao Ying finally noticed something. Her eyes widened as she tugged at Lu Xiaoyun and said, "Xiaoyun, look at the red fox. It seems to have … evolved!"
Lu Xiaoyun was in a fit of rage earlier so she wasn't in the mood to take a closer look. When she heard Zhao Ying's words, she suppressed her anger and observed. What she saw stunned her.
The red fox's aura surged. It had evolved!
The red fox was her pet beast so other than observation, she could also sense it with her unique senses. Not a single drop of water could be seen on the red fox. Its red fur was thick and it had grown a size larger than before. Faint traces of fire spirits could be seen gathering around its body.
"How is this possible?" Lu Xiaoyun still did not believe it. She immediately used the beast token to cast a spell. The red fox leaped and passed through a small tree at the side like a bolt of lightning. Then, with a boom, the small tree burst into flames and a ball of fire surged up to a height of at least ten feet.
Facts spoke louder than words.
Her pet beast had really evolved into a Rank 2 pet beast and mastered the use of elemental powers.
However, this incident was too shocking and inconceivable. It even subverted her understanding of the world. Her brother had mentioned that because her pet beast was a rare species, it would take at least three years for it to evolve. Beast appraiser Gao Jiang, whom she admired, had personally seen it and concluded that for the red fox to evolve, it would take at least two to three years. Lu Xiaoyun had no doubts about this conclusion.
But now, after being tossed into the pond for more than a dozen times, the red fox had evolved.
How could she possibly explain this?
Compared to Lu Xiaoyun's shock and stupefaction, Zhao Ying was much more accepting of the situation. After all, she was experienced.
"Xiaoyun, I've told you before that Appraiser Lin is truly talented and skilled. Ordinary beast appraisers can't hope to match up to him. Do you believe me now? Those rumors were deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives to tarnish Appraiser Lin's reputation?" Zhao Ying said proudly.
Lu Xiaoyun's expression changed. Her anger was gone, leaving behind only shock.
Zhao Ying continued, "Look at Appraiser Lin. In order to help your pet beast evolve, he expended his spiritual energy. Although you guys had a bet before, the problem is, who could help you evolve your pet beast if you took out a beast soul? If you convert it, forget one beast soul, even a few more wouldn't be enough. "
This time, Lu Xiaoyun's expression became determined.
Just as Zhao Ying said, facts spoke louder than words. Regarding those malicious rumors, Appraiser Lin had never refuted them. All he did was endure it silently. Although the method he used earlier was a little unique, the result spoke for itself.
She could only blame herself for being too young and simple-minded. Just like everyone else, she believed the rumors without seeing it with her own eyes. Recalling what she had said and done, Lu Xiaoyun's face flushed red with shame.
'Seeing is believing. I almost misunderstood Appraiser Lin. Just like Yingying said, he really is a low-key person who doesn't care about fame and fortune, but he's also a capable and talented person! ' Lu Xiaoyun's mindset changed. She was now filled with respect. The more she looked at Lin Jin who was sitting cross-legged, the more mysterious he seemed.
