Lin Jin wasn't a picky person. Moreover, it was normal for Heavenly Spiral Nation's headquarters to be busy so waiting a little longer wasn't a big deal.
"Jiang Tianhe, a Rank 3 beast appraiser from Heavenly Spiral Nation. He and Appraiser Tan used to be classmates," the middle-aged appraiser introduced himself with a smile.
Lin Jin quickly saluted him.
"I've received Brother Tan's letter and read it as well. In the letter, Brother Tan spoke highly of you, Appraiser Lin. Now that I've seen you today, you're indeed a young hero." After Jiang Tianhe entered, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
Lin Jin could tell that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink.
However, it was this forthright attitude of his that left a favorable impression on Lin Jin. "Appraiser Lin, please have a seat.
Long story short, Brother Tan and I have been good friends for many years. He recommended Appraiser Lin to participate in the Rank 4 evaluation on behalf of Jade Dragon Kingdom's headquarters so I'll do my best to help you. However, this Rank 4 evaluation is no trivial matter and isn't that simple. I'm afraid I won't have time today so I'll have to trouble Appraiser Lin to come over tomorrow morning. I'll introduce you to the Rank 4 beast appraisers in charge of the evaluation and they'll have the final say on the evaluation. "
Jiang Tianhe didn't try to hide his intentions. Lin Jin could tell that the man was sincerely helping him so he quickly thanked him. "What?
"Appraiser Jiang, this is my first time here. Is there anything I should prepare in advance?" Lin Jin asked.
Jiang Tianhe pondered for a moment. "There's nothing much to prepare. Based on what I know, the evaluation of a Rank 4 beast appraiser is very strict. There are a total of ten main appraisers and in order to pass, all ten must agree. If even one of them disagrees, it'll be troublesome. But that's understandable. After all, this is a Rank 4 promotion so it can't be sloppy."
Lin Jin nodded.
Jiang Tianhe was right. A Rank 4 beast appraiser was no small matter. It was said that Heavenly Spiral Nation's headquarters only had about twenty Rank 4 beast appraisers.
"Right, do you have a place to stay, Appraiser Lin? If not, I can arrange one for you. " Jiang Tianhe was very enthusiastic. Lin Jin remembered that he wasn't alone. Gu Mengzhong was here too so he said, "I have a good friend in Heavenly Spiral City. We can find a place to stay."
Jiang Tianhe nodded. "Sounds good."
Having said that, he stood up. "Appraiser Lin, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave. I was forced by the situation, so I hope Appraiser Lin won't blame me for being rude."
Lin Jin quickly shook his head. "Appraiser Jiang, you're exaggerating."
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly said, "Right, there's one more thing. Appraiser Tan Xun's daughter is in Heavenly Jade Academy and he asked me to bring a letter to her. How should I pass it to her?"
Jiang Tianhe smiled and said, "Just go and find her directly. It's easy to talk to the Academy."
After saying that, he took his leave.
It could be seen that he was really busy.
Now that the assessment was settled, Lin Jin felt at ease. Since he still had time, he might as well make a trip to Heavenly Jade Academy.
Once outside, Lin Jin asked an appraiser for directions and found out that there was a special path that led directly to Heavenly Spiral Academy. There was no need to walk from the outside.
Lin Jin figured that if there was a shortcut, he would take it. Hence, he asked around as he walked. After passing through a vast garden, he walked past several pavilions and finally, he arrived at Heavenly Jade Academy.
Here, he could see many Rank 1 and 2 beast appraiser students studying. The academic atmosphere was instantly palpable. As Lin Jin walked over, the students who passed by were stunned when they saw the three-ringed beast emblem on Lin Jin's sleeve. Then, they bowed respectfully.
This was because Heavenly Jade Academy only had Rank 1 and 2 students. Those who had reached Rank 3 were all mentors. It was a rule for students to bow to their mentors.
Whenever someone bowed to him, Lin Jin would respond politely.
However, he soon realized a problem.
Heavenly Jade Academy was too big. There were so many corridors, courtyards, and halls that it was too much for the eyes to take in. Many of the places looked similar so he actually got lost.
However, Lin Jin wasn't in a hurry. Just then, a few more students approached him. Lin Jin stopped them and asked for Tan Lin's whereabouts.
Speaking of which, Lin Jin's understanding of Heavenly Jade Academy was very limited. He didn't know how this place was divided so he could only ask for her name.
However, it was obvious that not everyone knew who Tan Lin was. After a few rounds of questioning, Lin Jin still couldn't find her.
Finally, he stopped a female student and after asking, the girl was stunned. She said charmingly, "Sir, are you looking for Tan Lin? She … she's at the Beast Appraisal Pavilion. "
She obviously knew Tan Lin. Delighted, Lin Jin quickly thanked her.
"Then, do you know where the Beast Appraisal Pavilion is?" Remembering that he didn't know where it was, Lin Jin asked sheepishly.
The female student sized Lin Jin up before asking, "Aren't you a teacher from the academy?"
If he was a teacher from the academy, there was no way he wouldn't know where the Beast Appraisal Pavilion was.
Lin Jin nodded. "I'm a good friend of Tan Lin's from the same hometown. I was asked by someone to deliver a letter to her home."
The female student mumbled to herself, "A good friend from the same hometown and a Rank 3 beast appraiser. So young. Oh, I know. You're Appraiser Lin, aren't you?"
At this, the female student's eyes lit up.
Lin Jin was genuinely surprised.
After asking further, he found out that the female student's name was Li Xinqi and she was a good friend of Tan Lin's. When they chatted, Tan Lin would mention Lin Jin.
"Tan Lin admires Appraiser Lin very much. I used to not believe that such a young Rank 3 beast appraiser existed. Now that I've met you, I know that Tan Lin wasn't lying." Li Xinqi sneaked a glance at Lin Jin, musing that Appraiser Lin was probably around her age.
If she knew that Lin Jin was the same age as her, she would be even more shocked.
"Appraiser Lin, if you don't know where the Beast Appraisal Pavilion is, I'll take you there." Li Xinqi was clearly more enthusiastic than before so Lin Jin quickly thanked her.
Lin Jin noticed that Li Xinqi was a Rank 2 beast appraiser just like Tan Lin.
Lin Jin couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Because along the way, although there were some students in the entire Heavenly Jade Academy, but most of them were young, just like his own age.
What did this mean?
Most of the Rank 2 beast appraisers in Jade Dragon Kingdom were in their thirties or fifties. Based on age alone, Heavenly Spiral Academy had gathered all the geniuses in Continent Center. How could it not be prosperous?
Along the way, Lin Jin asked around and sure enough, Li Xinqi wasn't from Heavenly Spiral. Instead, she was from another intermediate country in Continent Center, Jin Tang Kingdom.
Moreover, Li Xinqi wasn't just any commoner. She was a member of Jin Tang's royal family.
Clearly, those who could come to Heavenly Spiral Academy were either wealthy or respectable people.
"I heard from Tan Lin that Appraiser Lin can evaluate hundreds of beasts in a day. Is that true?"
"Tan Lin said that Appraiser Lin's skills are outstanding. Right, she even let me see your evaluation reports. They are indeed impressive."
"Also …"
Li Xinqi kept talking along the way.
Finally arriving at the Beast Appraisal Pavilion, Lin Jin thought that he could finally have some peace and quiet. He had assumed that this girl was a quiet person but he didn't expect her to be so talkative.
