Was it really that easy to promote a pet beast to Rank 4?
Shi Wenjun trusted Lin Jin immensely. She also knew that Lin Jin was now a certified Rank 3 beast appraiser. However, it was said that only a Rank 4 beast appraiser could promote a pet beast to Rank 4.
She couldn't help but feel doubtful.
If Shi Wenjun was in such a state, then the others would be even more so.
Luo Beihe's eyes were wide open as she shook her head. "Although he's talented, he's too arrogant and conceited."
In the beginning, Luo Beihe had high hopes for Lin Jin and it was the same later on. When Lin Jin helped her disciple,'Xue Bao'er, condense a spell, she knew that Lin Jin had great potential.
But even so, he shouldn't be this arrogant.
Huangfu Ming was also shaking his head. He knew how capable Lin Jin was. After all, Lin Jin was the one who helped his disciple, Lu Yunhe, evolve his pet beast to Rank 3.
In the Jade Dragon Kingdom, only a handful of beast appraisers with such capabilities could be counted on one hand. Hence, when Lin Jin was promoted to a Rank 3 beast appraiser and became chief of Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association, no one objected. Huangfu Ming was deeply gratified and happy for Lin Jin.
However, even though it was only a difference of one rank, there was a world of difference between Rank 3 and Rank 4.
The difficulty of promoting from Rank 3 to Rank 4 was unimaginable to the average person. Huangfu Ming knew this very well. All these years, he had tried everything for his pet beast.
His pet beast had been Rank 3 for a long time now. Logically speaking, with Huangfu Ming's status and resources, as long as he could find a way, he would definitely try to promote his pet beast to Rank 4.
Yet, in the past few decades, he hadn't been able to do so.
Huangfu Ming had once visited famous beast appraisers in the Jade Dragon Kingdom to ask for advice on pet beast evolution. However, his hopes were met with disappointment again and again.
Whether it was the Rank 3 beast appraisers in the royal capital or some rogue beast appraisers, none of them could do anything. Even if they had some ideas, they would all fail after trying.
Eventually, Huangfu Ming lost all hope and decided to give up on his pet beast evolution.
But if it was possible, he would still fight for it.
It was precisely because of how difficult and arduous this path was that Huangfu Ming knew better than anyone else that for a Rank 3 pet beast to advance to Rank 4, it would still be dependent on the pet beast's own potential and luck. Otherwise, it would be a fantasy to even think about advancing.
Shi Wenjun's white deer could only be considered an extremely common rare beast. Even a layman like Huangfu Ming could tell this. Hence, when Lin Jin promised to upgrade the white deer from its current Rank 2 to Rank 4 within a month, Huangfu Ming didn't doubt it. He simply didn't believe it.
Whether or not he could advance to Tier 3 in a month's time was unknown.
Despite his thoughts, Huangfu Ming didn't voice them out loud. He just wanted to find a chance to have a good chat with Lin Jin.
By now, he had lost all hope of having Lin Jin appraise his pet beast.
Mr. Yi said nothing but stared curiously at Lin Jin. Although he too thought it was ridiculous for a pet beast to evolve into Rank 4 in just a month, he could tell from Lin Jin's calm tone and calm gaze that he wasn't lying or exaggerating.
"Could it really be possible?"
Mr. Yi mumbled to himself. When Ye Yuzhou heard this, he said to Mr. Yi, "It's not a possibility. It's a certainty."
This kind of affirmation, coming from someone of Ye Yuzhou's status, could not be ignored.
Luo Beihe and Huangfu Ming heard this as well.
Both of them said nothing but they were thinking the same thing. Why did Ye Yuzhou praise Lin Jin so much?
While they were still pondering this question, an aura suddenly erupted from the white deer.
Then, the white deer's body expanded abruptly. In addition to that, wood spirit energy emanated from the white deer and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted through the air.
Under the nourishment of this wood spirit energy, some of the flowers and trees in the yard began to grow rapidly. Some of them even bloomed into beautiful flowers in a matter of seconds.
All of this happened right under their noses.
Not only could one utilize elemental powers to advance from Rank 2 to Rank 3, but they could also change their body size. This was common knowledge and as mentors of the Friar Association, Luo Beihe and Huangfu Ming were well aware of this.
Now that they saw it, they were dumbfounded.
Shi Wenjun's pet beast, the white deer, had really evolved. And in such a short amount of time, it had evolved from Rank 2 to Rank 3.
How did Lin Jin do it?
After all, they believed that Lin Jin could evolve his pet beast from Rank 2 to Rank 3. After all, there had been cases of this happening before. However, they didn't expect the process to be so fast. It was so fast that they couldn't even react in time.
"This … this …" Luo Beihe was flustered. She was speechless. She could still vividly remember the ordeal her pet beast had to go through to evolve to Rank 3. Back then, she had put in so much effort for her pet beast to evolve. But now, compared to this white deer's evolution, her experience back then was nothing more than a joke.
"Evolving to Rank 3 in an instant. Lin Jin really did it." Huangfu Ming's expression changed. In the end, he broke into a smile. "No wonder you hold Lin Jin in such high regard, Brother Yuzhou. Now that I know about it, I believe you. Evolving to Rank 4 within a month."
Huangfu Ming had high hopes for Lin Jin, but he had previously thought that Lin Jin was just boasting. However, facts spoke louder than words. For a Rank 2 pet beast to evolve to Rank 3 in the blink of an eye, this was already beyond the capabilities of a Rank 3 beast appraiser.
Among the Rank 3 beast appraisers in the entire Jade Dragon Kingdom, which one of them had such speed and skill?
None.
Not a single one.
"Lin Jin's skills have probably reached the level of a Rank 4 beast appraiser." Ye Yuzhou suddenly dropped a bombshell, causing everyone's breathing to quicken.
A Rank 4 beast appraiser was no joke.
No matter where one went, a Rank 4 beast appraiser was highly respected. Moreover, an intermediate country like the Jade Dragon Kingdom didn't even have a Rank 4 beast appraiser.
Only premium countries would have a Rank 4 beast appraiser in their ranks.
How was a Rank 4 beast appraiser assessed?
This wasn't something that could be assessed through examinations. To put it simply, anyone who mastered the method to evolve a Rank 3 pet beast into Rank 4 could be considered a Rank 4 beast appraiser.
If Lin Jin could really evolve the white deer into Rank 4 within a month, he would undoubtedly be at the level of a Rank 4 beast appraiser.
Forget them, even His Majesty the Emperor of the Jade Dragon Kingdom would have to treat a Rank 4 beast appraiser with respect. A Rank 4 beast appraiser was a person who stood at the top of the world.
Luo Beihe's heart was pounding.
Just like Huangfu Ming, she had initially accepted the evolution of her pet beast. But in reality, could she really accept it?
Obviously not.
If there was no chance, she could only let it go. But once an opportunity presented itself, she would do everything in her power to seize it. Even if she had to resort to some underhanded means, she wouldn't hesitate.
