"Appraiser Lin, your clothes … I-I'll get you a new one," the old bull's owner suddenly said. Lin Jin waved his hand. "It's fine. It's just some blood. I'll just wash it off."
Lin Jin clearly didn't mind.
The blacksmiths and foreman were now convinced by Lin Jin's abilities.
Lin Jin didn't take it to heart. As for the fee, he didn't really mind it.
Just then, someone called out, "Appraiser Lin!"
Lin Jin turned to see a tall, elderly man in black attire.
He also looked familiar.
Lin Jin remembered. He was the follower of that strange man he met at the association two days ago. Not only did this old man refuse to pay, he even injured Lin Jin and Xiao Huo before he left.
"It's you? What are you trying to do? "Lin Jin's expression darkened. Xiao Huo let out a low growl, ready to pounce at any moment.
The old man dressed in black was the travel-worn Lu Bin who had rushed over from Jade Dragon City.
The sixth princess, He Yu, was still unconscious and the palace doctors were helpless. Lu Bin recalled Lin Jin's words in Maple City a few days ago so he rushed over to see if he could find a ray of hope to save the sixth princess.
Of course, his identity was still a secret and he had no intention of revealing it. On his way here, he first went to the Beast Appraisal Association but couldn't find Lin Jin. After asking passersby, he found his way here and happened to see Lin Jin treating the old bull.
He was also the one who stopped the bull's owner earlier.
Lu Bin had witnessed the entire process of Lin Jin saving the old bull. Although it was a small matter, Lu Bin could tell that Lin Jin was no ordinary person.
If he was right, the old bull's internal veins were ruptured. There was almost no way to save such a situation and death was the only outcome. Yet, Lin Jin easily resolved this fatal situation.
At this sight, Lu Bin knew that Lin Jin was a powerhouse.
In addition, Lu Bin's meticulous observation allowed him to observe Lin Jin's pet beast. Two days ago, it was still a Rank 1 fire wolf with nothing special about it. But in just two days, it was as if it had been reborn. Lu Bin even felt threatened by it.
Lu Bin's identity was special and he was skilled. If even Lu Bin felt threatened, it couldn't just be a Rank 1 or 2 pet beast.
Lu Bin suspected that Lin Jin's fire wolf was already at Rank 3.
What kind of person could evolve their pet beast consecutively in such a short period of time?
This was practically impossible. Hence, his opinion of Lin Jin rose even higher. Since he was here to seek treatment, his attitude was more respectful.
"Appraiser Lin, I was reckless the day before. Please forgive me."
Lu Bin saluted. If the nobles of the royal city were to see this, their jaws would probably drop. To think that the famous General Lu would be so courteous to a mere Rank 1 beast appraiser, even taking the initiative to apologize. This was unimaginable.
Lin Jin didn't know who he was, but he knew that this old man was either rich or respectable.
The last time he attacked, the Museum of Deadly Beasts reacted when he touched Lin Jin with a finger. It was only later that Lin Jin found out that if a blood contract cultivator were to touch them, they could indirectly learn about their pet beasts.
This old man in black was the strongest expert Lin Jin had ever met.
With an attitude of staying out of trouble, keeping a low profile, and enjoying life, Lin Jin would try his best not to provoke someone who was obviously of high status.
Since the old man had taken the initiative to apologize, it couldn't be anything good so Lin Jin replied nonchalantly, "It's just a small matter. I've forgotten about it so don't take it to heart!"
Having said that, he turned to leave.
It had only been a few days since he transmigrated here so Lin Jin didn't want to get involved in any trouble. As for the old man's intention, it didn't take much thought to figure out that something must have happened to that cross-dresser. Lin Jin shouldn't have said anything back then.
Seeing that Lin Jin was about to leave, Lu Bin immediately stopped him. "Appraiser Lin, please wait. I'm here to ask for a favor."
"What is it?" Lin Jin asked nonchalantly even though he already knew the answer.
Lu Bin took a deep breath. "Appraiser Lin, with your sharp eyes, you managed to identify the curse in my young master's body. Today, I'm here to seek treatment."
Sure enough.
Lin Jin was infuriated at the thought of it. Back then, he was being kind but the other party didn't listen to him and even injured him. Now, he was here to ask for help. Did they think Lin Jin had no temper?
Moreover, why should he help them?
Lin Jin shook his head. "Mister Lu, you must have gotten the wrong person. I'm a beast appraiser, not a physician."
Lu Bin could tell that Lin Jin's anger had yet to subside.
'You even said that I forgot about a small matter. '
Lin Jin clearly remembered it and was very concerned about it.
"Appraiser Lin, I was at fault for what happened that day. But my young master is in grave danger now. If I can appease Appraiser Lin and help me, I'm willing to cut off my arm as an apology."
After bowing, he actually pulled out a dagger from his waist and sliced off his left arm.
Lin Jin's scalp tingled.
"Xiao Huo!"
The Rank 3 Xiao Huo and Lin Jin were telepathically connected. Xiao Huo darted toward Lu Bin to stop him from harming himself.
Even so, the dagger still pierced half a foot into Lu Bin's arm, causing blood to gush out.
Having lived two lives, Lin Jin considered himself to be knowledgeable but he had never met such a ferocious person who wanted to cut off his own arm after just a few words.
Was he crazy?
Lin Jin couldn't understand so he had Xiao Huo stop him in a moment of desperation.
However, he didn't notice the cunning glint in Lu Bin's eyes.
Lin Jin didn't know what to do against such a ruthless person. Having never met such a person before, he didn't know how to deal with him. Both of them went to a private room in a nearby teahouse. Lu Bin tossed a silver ingot to the waiter, telling him not to disturb them.
"Appraiser Lin, I was as blind as a bat a few days ago. I really didn't know that Appraiser Lin was such a skillful person. Appraiser Lin is a kind-hearted person who even lent a helping hand to that old bull, unwilling to see it die. Now that someone's condition has worsened, how could you stand by and do nothing? Since Appraiser Lin was able to identify the cause of the illness, he must have a solution. Whether or not the solution is effective, I, Lu Bin, will never forget your kindness. "
Admittedly, Lu Bin was a good talker and he could easily manipulate people's minds.
Lin Jin frowned as if deep in thought.
Lu Bin continued, "Right, I haven't introduced myself. I am …"
Lin Jin quickly reached out to stop him.
"Don't say it. Please don't say it. I'm not interested in who you are. I'm not interested in that woman in men's clothing either. I don't want to cause any trouble either."
These were Lin Jin's heartfelt words. This fierce man had used a knife to harm himself without batting an eyelid. He was definitely not an average person.
He could be a dignitary or a bandit. Either way, Lin Jin felt the latter was more likely. Lin Jin had no intention of befriending such a dangerous person.
For example, that woman in men's clothing. The curse within her was terrifying. At least, that was what the museum said. It didn't take a genius to figure out that this was a trap.
Now, Lin Jin only hoped that he wouldn't be dragged into this trap so he could continue being a happy little beast appraiser.'If we can't afford to offend them, we can afford to hide. '
Lin Jin took out a pen and paper and wrote on it, "Take the nine water floating cloud pill with dracaena once a day. The recipe for the nine water floating cloud pill …"
Once he was done, he handed the paper to Lin Jin. "This is the treatment method. Just follow it. It's getting late so I won't keep you for dinner."
After handing him the paper, Lin Jin turned to leave.
Lu Bin didn't stop him this time because he was stunned by what was written on the paper.
"This … this is a prescription. The nine water floating cloud pill has such a detailed recipe and he gave it to me just like that?"
It wasn't that Lu Bin was overreacting, but this was just too shocking.
Throughout history, prescription pills had always been treasures of every family. They would never show it to others. Take a certain master alchemist in Jade Dragon City for example. You could ask him for a pill but he would sell you the finished product. But the prescription? Don't even think about it. Even if you had a mountain of gold, no, a mountain of spirit stones, it would be useless.
Hence, Lu Bin even thought that Lin Jin had scribbled something randomly.
However, he had some basic knowledge of pharmacology. Although he couldn't distinguish the authenticity of this prescription, he could match the basic pharmacology.
'Whether it's real or fake, I have to give it a try. If the prescription is real and can really save the sixth princess, I can't let such an expert be buried in this tiny Maple City, 'Lu Bin mused.
Not daring to waste any more time, he dashed out of the house and leaped onto the roof. With a loud whistle, a giant eagle flew down from the sky.
The eagle's wingspan was at least twenty feet. It was definitely a behemoth. Lu Bin leaped onto the eagle's back and followed it into the sky.
