Moo!
With a cry, Yellow Ox's muscles bulged and it seemed to have grown in size.
A few knowledgeable escorts immediately said, "This … this is an evolution. Only a Rank 2 pet beast can utilize elemental powers. From now on, it can just walk around the field."
"It really evolved?"
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong!"
The escorts' voices were filled with excitement while Yellow Ox's owner's heart raced. He couldn't believe it because he didn't have any hope at all.
But now, a rooster had really laid an egg in front of him.
His worldview was shattered to pieces. He couldn't even compress it.
After the extreme shock, he was overjoyed.
A pet beast's evolution held great significance in this world. Not only did it mean a Rank 2 pet beast, but due to the blood contract, the owner's physique would also improve.
Some people said that pet beasts' evolution could extend the owner's lifespan by ten years.
This wasn't a lie or nonsense. It was the truth. Other than lifespan, the pet beast's lifespan wasn't the only thing that could improve the owner's lifespan.
There was also strength. The escort clenched his fists. He could feel his strength increasing by quite a bit.
At the thought of his Yellow Ox evolving to Rank 2, he no longer needed to travel far and wide as an escort. He didn't mind earning this hard-earned money. When he returned home in the future, with this Rank 2 Yellow Ox that could control the earth element, what couldn't he do to earn money?
When his son got married in the future, he would have the confidence to take care of it.
How could he not be happy?
Yellow Ox's realm was obviously only the first.
Soon, the second pet beast evolved. It was a wolf-dog. It was also a beast with an inferior bloodline, a hybrid between a wolf and a dog.
These ferocious beasts had average strength, but they were ferocious and loyal, so many ordinary people formed Blood Contracts with them. Another thing was that these ferocious beasts were intelligent enough to understand what their masters wanted them to do. Normally, they would carry bodyguards with them, which was very useful.
However, because they were ferocious beasts with inferior bloodlines, it was almost unimaginable for them to advance to the next level. Although they were not like Yellow Ox, where almost no one had ever seen anyone advance to the next level, it was still rare for a wolf dog like this to advance to the next level. Perhaps not even one in a hundred thousand could advance to the next level.
But today, this wolf beast dog had advanced to the next level.
Howl!
The wolf-beast howled at the sky, and its body grew to a size that was visible to the naked eye. Its teeth and claws became sharper, and fur began to grow on the originally mottled bald spots. It was as if it had been reborn.
'It's rare to see a metal attribute wolf beast! 'Lin Jin mumbled to himself as he glanced at the wolfhound's steel-like teeth.
After this kind of wolf-type beast dog advanced, its bite strength was astonishing. Even if it was a tree, it could bite through it with a few bites. Even some iron weapons were no match for its steel teeth.
Lin Jin continued using his current technique. Using the pulse-seeking technique and Xiao Huo's Dharma body's mana, he gave these pet beasts a realm boost.
To Lin Jin, what seemed like a mystical supernatural skill to others was nothing more than an ordinary skill.
The next to evolve was also a wolfhound, but its element was different. This wolfhound was of the wind element.
After advancing to the next realm, the wind around him whistled, and his speed became much faster.
Following that, the escorts' pet beasts evolved one after another. To these escorts, in just a few minutes today, they had witnessed more pet beasts evolve than they had in the past decades.
In the past, they could only feel envious when they saw other people's pet beasts evolve.
After all, in this day and age, unless one had a miraculous encounter, the advancement of a pet beast depended on one's background and wealth. With money, one could hire a reputable beast appraiser to help improve their pet beast's strength. Slowly but surely, the pet beast would evolve.
Meanwhile, most of the commoners could only watch enviously, fantasizing about the day they could witness their own pet beast evolve.
Today, their horizons had truly been broadened.
Even an old horse had evolved at this point in time.
Water vapor rippled from the horse's body as it raised its hooves and neighed. Despite its age, the horse seemed to have become ten years younger. Its strength and vigor were like that of a young pony.
The miracle was still happening.
The escorts were trembling with excitement. From their initial disbelief, disdain, and suspicion, to their current ecstasy and delight, it only took a few moments.
The difference was like heaven and earth.
Out of the nine pet beasts, eight had completed their evolution. The only one that had yet to evolve was Escort Zhang's Rank 2 docked-tail mountain lion.
For a beast appraiser of Lin Jin's level, evolving from Rank 1 to Rank 2 wasn't a problem at all. Officially, Lin Jin was only a Rank 3 beast appraiser. But in reality, based on his own abilities, he should be at least a Rank 4 beast appraiser.
It wouldn't take much effort for a Rank 4 beast appraiser to promote a regular pet beast from Rank 1 to Rank 2 as well.
But who knew that Rank 4 beast appraisers were so rare that they only existed in premium countries. An intermediate country like the Jade Dragon Kingdom only had Rank 3 beast appraisers at most.
However, even for a Rank 4 beast appraiser, it wasn't easy to help a Rank 2 pet beast evolve to Rank 3 within a short period of time.
It might take some time to nurture and improve its aptitude and potential.
But Lin Jin didn't need any of that.
The Museum of Deadly Beasts could accurately pinpoint a pet beast's evolution point and provide a targeted evolution method. Even a pet beast that seemed like it had no chance of evolution could have more than one evolution method in the museum.
In addition, Lin Jin had mastered the powerful pulse-seeking technique and the Dharma body. Helping a Rank 2 pet beast evolve on the spot was just as easy as flipping his palm.
When Escort Zhang saw that everyone else's pet beasts had evolved and only his own was left, he began to feel anxious.
He wouldn't be disappointed if he didn't have high hopes in the beginning. But now that the flame of hope had been lit, it would be too cruel to extinguish it.
That was how Escort Zhang felt right now.
As time dragged on, he assumed that his pet beast wouldn't be able to evolve anymore.
'That's right. The other escorts' pet beasts are all Rank 1 so it would be easier for them to evolve to Rank 2. My mountain lion is already Rank 2 so it would be ten times more difficult to evolve it to Rank 3, 'Escort Zhang mused. He also knew that a Rank 3 pet beast was truly impressive.
Putting everything else aside, just the experts of the major families and even the City Lord Manor only had Rank 3 pet beasts. This was a rumor among the people.
A Rank 3 pet beast was enough to support a major family.
Even as a guest of a major family, one could earn up to a thousand taels of silver a year. Their lives would be at least ten times better and their status would be the same.
Even a major family wouldn't dare to show disrespect to someone with a Rank 3 pet beast. They had to be respectful.
And this might be the closest Escort Zhang had ever been in his life. Those things were right in front of him, within reach.
However, he might not be able to make it through this final push.
Just as Escort Zhang was consoling himself over the possibility of failure, a sandstorm burst forth from his mountain lion's body.
