It took Chen Yuanyuan a long time to regain her senses.
"Lin Jin, how dare you do this to me!"
She was gnashing her teeth.
Most people would reflect upon themselves when faced with such a situation. But there were some people in this world who didn't know how to reflect. They felt that everyone should revolve around them and that the ones at fault would always be others, never themselves.
The person who used to be so obedient and admired her suddenly ignored her and even rebelled against her. This made her dizzy with anger.
"Miss, General Weiwu has fainted!"
One of the Chen family's servants went over to check on the pet beast. The maned jackal's eyes were rolled back and it was foaming at the mouth. Its four legs would twitch from time to time and no one could wake it up. It was completely unconscious.
"I'm not blind!" Chen Yuanyuan had named her pet beast 'General Weiwu' because of its ferocity. Who knew it would pass out so suddenly? She had no idea what was going on.
"Lin Jin, how dare you ignore me today and embarrass me so much? Just you wait, this isn't over." Chen Yuanyuan was so angry that she kicked General Weiwu. Not only did poor General Weiwu pass out, but he also suffered a beating for no reason.
...
After leaving another medicine hall, Lin Jin bought the materials needed to refine the 'energy gathering pill'.
Speaking of the energy gathering pill, there were no records of it in any books as the pill recipe had long been lost. However, Lin Jin could find the corresponding recipe and refinement method from the Museum of Deadly Beasts' many methods of strengthening pet beasts' physique.
Lin Jin already had some ideas on how to obtain benefits from the museum. For example, the 'six suns beast soul pill' he refined previously didn't exist in this world. But because it was required for Xiao Huo's perfect evolution method, the museum had detailed information about it.
In other words, through this method, Lin Jin could obtain more benefits than just Beast Deterrence and the Beast Energy Formation. Just the pill recipe alone was more than enough for him to dig out.
Now that he had the materials and the pellet furnace, Lin Jin couldn't be bothered to buy it so he just borrowed it from Lu Yunhe.
When he got home, a few craftsmen were working in full swing. The frame of the house that was originally burned down had been rebuilt. It was estimated that it would be repaired in a few days.
The new house was bigger and made of better materials. When the foreman saw Lin Jin, he immediately came over to greet him.
"Appraiser Lin, you're here!"
The foreman was a local and was quite honest.
Some of the workers' pet beasts were transporting wood. Some were mules, some were horses. These pet beasts were practical and the foreman's pet beast was a large monkey.
Climbing high and low, and installing mortise and tenon joints at high places were much more efficient than humans.
Lin Jin skimmed through it and was quite satisfied with it. He paid them for the day's work without hesitation.
At this moment, the old bull that was transporting the stones suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up. A few of the craftsmen became anxious and went to check on it. However, no matter how much they kicked and hit it, the old bull wouldn't get up. It just stared at it and panted heavily.
"Liu Laosan, what's wrong with your pet beast? No matter what, we have to move the stones away. It's blocking the road, "the foreman said anxiously.
The old bull happened to be lying in the middle of the road. With it blocking the road, it would be troublesome if carriages couldn't get through.
The craftsman named Liu Laosan was also anxious. "I don't know what's going on either. I've never encountered something like this before. It won't get up no matter what I say."
"Is it sick?"
"That's possible. What do we do now? There's so much stone and we can't move it away at once."
By now, the carriages behind them had been blocked. Many of the neighbors had come to watch the commotion.
Lin Jin strode over.
Since he had encountered this problem, he might as well take a look. After all, as long as it was a pet beast, Lin Jin had absolute confidence that he could solve it.
"Let me take a look." Lin Jin pushed through the crowd and headed inside.
Most of the people here recognized Lin Jin and knew that he was a beast appraiser. However, due to Lin Jin's bad reputation, even the neighbors wouldn't approach him for evaluation. They didn't trust him from the bottom of their hearts.
The same went for the craftsmen. They clearly didn't have much confidence in Lin Jin. From this point alone, the destructive power of rumors was apparent, especially to the average person. They believed these rumors without a shred of doubt, especially when it came to the appraisal accident. To them, Lin Jin's skills weren't up to par.
"Why don't we get a veterinarian to take a look?"
At this, Lin Jin smiled bitterly.
However, he didn't mind these people's gazes and distrust. First, he took a look at the old bull. The bull was huge in size and its skin was coarse and thick. It had obviously been working hard for a long period of time as its skin was covered in cracks.
Judging by the horns, hooves, and the bottom of its eyes, the bull's horns were cracked and so were its hooves. The bull's eyes were bleeding and its eyes were wide open, exhaling but not inhaling. This was definitely an emergency. But what embarrassed Lin Jin was that with his abilities, without the Museum of Deadly Beasts, he couldn't tell what kind of emergency this was, nor did he know how to treat it.
Lin Jin was worrying too much. Forget him, even Wang Ji would be at a loss when faced with an emergency like this.
Now that the situation was dire and the old bull was about to die, Lin Jin wasted no time and immediately reached out to touch the bull's head.
In an instant, the Museum of Deadly Beasts had the old bull's specimen and information tablet.
"Rank 1 pet beast, land bull. Earth attribute. Potential rate: 1."
"Current status: Emergency. Brain damaged. Near death state. Treatment steps are as follows …"
Just as Lin Jin predicted, the old bull was suffering from an emergency and it was a life-threatening one. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that forget Wang Ji, even a Rank 3 beast appraiser wouldn't be able to do anything in this situation.
But even in such a dire situation, the museum still had a treatment method.
Lin Jin quickly scanned through and had an idea. Following the museum's detailed treatment steps, he condensed a spirit energy finger and jabbed it at the 'Lingguan' acupoint on the old bull's head.
Spirit energy finger was a simple spell. As an official beast appraiser, his predecessor wasn't so useless that he didn't even know this basic technique. Hence, with his inherited memories, Lin Jin could perform it easily.
With the enhancement of spirit energy and the help of his pet beast's fire spirit, his body was as sharp as a blade. With just one finger, a small hole opened up on the old bull's head and blood immediately gushed out.
Everyone around was startled.
"Appraiser Lin, what are you doing?"
The old bull's owner panicked. With reddened eyes, he wanted to argue with Lin Jin but fortunately, someone stopped him.
Lin Jin didn't have time to deal with them. The old bull's condition was critical and he couldn't afford to waste any time. He had to focus on the next step of treatment. Hence, with a thought, Xiao Huo stood guard beside him to prevent others from interfering.
The old bull's blood flowed out but Lin Jin didn't avoid it. His clothes were stained but he didn't mind.
That finger strike just now was just right. The reason why it was so accurate was because the old cow specimen that the Museum of Deadly Beasts had condensed had marked the specific acupoints.
It was like comparing an actual object so it would be strange if he made a mistake.
Then, Lin Jin struck the old bull's acupoints.
It was odd but after just a few simple strikes, the old bull's breathing calmed down. The situation clearly wasn't that critical anymore. The old bull's tail even started wagging but it still couldn't stand up.
"Alright!"
Lin Jin flicked the blood off his hand and got up to pluck a leaf from a nearby tree. He also got someone to gather some grass ash. Then, he took out a medicinal herb he bought from the medicine hall and chewed it up before applying it to the old bull's wound. Then, he applied the grass ash and the leaf over the wound, and that was it.
"Don't let it work today. It should be fine after resting for two days." Lin Jin turned and said. Then, he patted the bull's head and something happened that left everyone dumbfounded.
The old bull mooed, wagged its tail, shook its head, and stood up to walk over to its owner.
Amazing!
Everyone clearly saw that the old bull was only exhaling but not inhaling. It looked like it was going to die so how did it manage to stand up on its own in such a short time?
Although the crowd didn't know how to treat pet beasts, they weren't blind. How could they not tell that it was Lin Jin who saved the old bull from a sudden emergency?
The most excited one was the bull's owner. This blacksmith came from an average family and to him, the old bull was a very important asset. He relied on the bull to transport his work so he couldn't live without it. More importantly, it had been with him for more than a decade so they had developed a bond. The bull was no different from family.
Earlier, he was so excited that he wanted to argue with the owner. Now that he thought about it, it was fortunate that someone stopped him. Otherwise, he might have disturbed Appraiser Lin. Now that he looked at Appraiser Lin, in order to save his pet beast, the old bull, he didn't even care about being reprimanded. His hands and clothes were stained with blood. His generosity and character were truly admirable.
"Appraiser Lin, I, I …" The more the blacksmith thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He immediately went forward and knelt on the ground. Lin Jian smiled and helped him up, saying, "I specialize in beast appraising. How could I stand by and do nothing in a situation like this?"
"Well said!" The foreman was the first to applaud. He had witnessed what happened today with his own eyes. Previously, they had only heard that Lin Jin was incompetent and relied on luck to become a beast appraiser and that he had even caused an appraisal accident. Hence, they had been spreading false rumors. But what they saw today proved those rumors to be bullsh * t.
With such a doctor's benevolence, generosity, and skills, anyone who still believed in those rumors would have to be out of their minds.
In the face of reality, the rumors crumbled on their own.
