Needless to say, the others were flabbergasted. If Lin Jin was the only one who said this, they wouldn't believe him and would scoff at him. But Tan Xun was different.
"Elder Tan, is that true?"
"Could it be a mistake? This earth dragon's pulse is indeed in a state of near death."
When Tan Xun heard this, he chuckled. "You guys are the pillars of our headquarters and you might even become Rank 3 beast appraisers in the future. Why are you guys even more stubborn than an old man like me? Have you guys forgotten what the Beast Appraisal Manual says, death is the sign of rebirth?"
Upon hearing this, the Rank 2 beast appraisers snapped out of their daze and came to a realization.
"Could it be …"
"That's right. Although this pulse is in a state of near death, it's weak and hasn't dissipated. If it really was a dead pulse, this earth dragon beast would have died a long time ago."
"Does that mean we just need to let it recuperate on its own?"
The Rank 2 beast appraisers were asking about Lin Jin as well. Due to Tan Xun and Lin Jin's outstanding judgment, they spoke to Lin Jin in a much more courteous manner. There was even a hint of respect in their tone.
Then, they recalled how Elder Tan had addressed Lin Jin as a friend. If Lin Jin wasn't capable, he wouldn't be qualified to be Elder Tan's friend.
It wasn't just the beast appraisers who turned to look at Lin Jin. Even Tan Xun turned to look at him.
Lin Jin thought for a moment before saying, "If it had only needed to recuperate from the start, it would have been fine. But King Yu's people didn't know the situation and thought this earth dragon beast was suffering from some serious illness so they sent it here. You guys have fed it quite a lot of tonics. Although these tonics paled in comparison to the rare ingredients the earth dragon beast consumed, just as Elder Tan said, it's like adding fuel to the fire. If we just let it recuperate, something might go wrong. It's best if we use acupuncture to help the earth dragon beast digest the medicine."
Tan Xun nodded as well, clearly agreeing with Lin Jin's diagnosis.
Under normal circumstances, Tan Xun's acupuncture skills were the best among everyone here. After all, being a Rank 3 beast appraiser was a test of acupuncture skills.
Tan Xun was about to do it himself when he suddenly recalled what Tan Lin had told him before. Lin Jin's acupuncture skills were so impressive that she couldn't even tell what he was doing.
Tan Xun's curiosity was piqued so he turned to Lin Jin and said, "Appraiser Lin, you were the one who came up with this resurrection technique. Why don't you do it?"
Lin Jin didn't decline.
In fact, the Earthly Dragon Beast was in a perilous situation. If the Earthly Dragon Beast was left alone, it would only have a 50% chance of surviving.
Half and half.
If he couldn't endure it, he would probably have to put an end to it.
Therefore, using the pulse-seeking acupuncture technique as a supplement was the safest option. Moreover, the average person wouldn't be able to perform the acupuncture technique. Even Tan Xun wasn't as safe as doing it himself.
Lin Jin took out his needles and flicked them out. In a flash of silver light, the needles flew out and pierced several vital acupoints on the earthly drake's body.
Tan Xun was startled by this.
As the earthly dragon beast was protected by a sturdy shell, the needles couldn't pierce through. Earlier, Tan Xun had pierced the creature's abdomen, but the acupoints there were limited. Now, Lin Jin was piercing the earthly dragon beast's ears, nose, eyes, and mouth. It was a close shave, and Lin Jin was shooting the needles through thin air. Just how much control and courage did he have to be to do this? If he made a mistake, it would be disastrous.
The other beast appraisers watched with their mouths agape. They knew very well that they would never be able to match up to Lin Fan's acupuncture skills.
What an expert.
It was no wonder Elder Tan regarded him as a friend.
The Rank 2 beast appraisers were in awe of Lin Jin. Having elevated Lin Jin's status to that of Elder Tan's, they obviously wouldn't treat him as a peer.
Lin Jin was focused on his acupuncture as he continued flicking out his needles. By then, Tan Xun noticed something and paled in fright.
"This … Could this be an internal acupuncture technique?"
Tan Xun gasped as he said this.
Naturally, he knew that acupuncture was divided into external acupuncture and internal acupuncture.
Most people knew of external acupuncture techniques, which involved piercing external acupoints and combing the meridians.
However, internal acupuncture techniques were completely different. It required a spell to control the needles to pierce internal acupoints. It could even be used to stimulate the internal organs. The effects were incomparable to external acupuncture techniques.
However, even Tan Xun didn't know how to use internal acupuncture. He could be considered a master in external acupuncture techniques, but he knew nothing about internal acupuncture techniques.
Now that he saw Lin Jin flicking the needles into the body without being able to tell where they were, Tan Xun knew that Lin Jin was using the legendary internal acupuncture technique.
After learning this, Tan Xun was thrilled.
But he could still hold it in.
Lin Jin was in the middle of performing acupuncture so he didn't want to disturb him. However, Tan Xun had made up his mind to consult Lin Jin during dinner later.
Tan Xun had long heard of this internal acupuncture technique, but he had never been able to learn it. Now that he was witnessing someone using it, one could only imagine how excited he was. At the same time, Tan Xun was curious. Just where did Lin Jin learn this amazing acupuncture technique?
His daughter, Tan Lin, had mentioned that she suspected an expert had given Lin Jin pointers. Tan Xun had been skeptical before, but after witnessing this internal acupuncture technique, he had to believe it.
No matter how bad the other beast appraisers' eyesight was, they could tell that something was amiss.
"Where … where are the needles?"
"They're gone. It's as if they were completely pierced into the earth dragon's body."
"Have any of you heard of this technique before?"
Among them, there were a few knowledgeable people who came up with the words' internal acupuncture technique '.
To them, internal acupuncture was something that only existed in legends. When they looked at Lin Jin again, they were dumbfounded.
No one dared to make a sound to disturb Lin Jin's acupuncture. Even those who came in from outside were immediately stopped by the beast appraisers, afraid that they would disturb Lin Jin.
Moments later, Lin Jin retracted his needles. His technique was clean and precise. The earth dragon beast's breathing was now even. Although it was still motionless, it had stabilized and was no longer in danger.
Turning around, Lin Jin saw everyone looking at him with respect.
"Appraiser Lin, that was a great technique."
"This earth dragon beast should be fine now, right?"
"Appraiser Lin, this acupuncture technique is amazing. Can you explain it to us?"
The beast appraisers looked expectant.
Tan Xun coughed softly. Only then did the beast appraisers snap out of their daze. The internal acupuncture technique was so amazing, and it was also a legendary acupuncture technique. How could he simply give them pointers? It was written in ancient books that skills were not easily passed down. Given how amazing this internal acupuncture technique was, it could be considered an ancient immortal skill. Since it was a treasure, they wouldn't reveal it so easily either.
Understanding the situation, the beast appraisers felt a tinge of regret. But that was fine. Now that they knew who Lin Jin was, they would have plenty of chances to get closer to him in the future.
If they became friends in the future, it wouldn't be a problem for Lin Jin to occasionally give them pointers.
Now that the situation had stabilized, the earth dragon beast only needed a good night's sleep to be fine. Tan Xun checked again and confirmed this conclusion.
Once the matter was settled, Tan Xun led Lin Jin away. Before they left, the Rank 2 beast appraisers escorted them all the way to the door with great enthusiasm.
