The only person who looked calm was Shu Xiaolou. She already knew what Lin Jin was talking about and she had her own unique understanding of it so she was rather bored.
In fact, Shu Xiaolou had basically cultivated the pulse-seeking technique. Other than a few parts where she was a little unfamiliar, she understood most of it. She wanted to hear about Lin Jin's epiphany last night. Shu Xiaolou had a feeling that whatever Lin Jin suddenly comprehended last night must be something extraordinary.
Among the people present, there were two people in a corner.
They were wearing hats so their faces couldn't be seen. But upon closer inspection, one could tell that they weren't young anymore.
They were Emperor Feng Junwu and his trusted aide, the old internal official.
"So this is Lin Jin? He has a dignified appearance and an extraordinary aura, but isn't he a little too young for his age? "Feng Junwu said in a hushed voice that only the old official could hear.
The latter whispered back, "Although he's young, Your Majesty, look at the people in this hall. They are all elites of the academy. To have such charisma, it's no small feat."
That was true.
Feng Junwu nodded. He was only here out of curiosity. Truth be told, he had summoned Lin Jin twice but the latter never showed up. Even if he had a good reason for doing so, Feng Junwu was still a little displeased. He was here to see what was so special about this Lin Jin.
At this moment, Feng Junwu suddenly stood up and walked out. The old eunuch hurriedly followed behind him.
Of course, the people in the hall noticed their abrupt departure, especially Lin Jin who could see everything clearly from the podium.
However, he only gave them a quick glance and didn't pay much attention to them.
Once outside, Feng Junwu instructed the old official, "Go find Ziqian and have him invite Lin Jin again today. If he still doesn't show up, then forget about this matter."
Having said that, he left.
The old official immediately felt pressured.
His Majesty was visibly annoyed but he had no way to vent his anger. After all, even if Appraiser Lin was busy, this had happened twice in a row. Anyone else might be able to brush it off with a laugh, but His Majesty was Emperor of Heavenly Jade so he couldn't just let this slide.
So this time, no matter what, he had to get this done.
The old eunuch mused, 'Don't count on the Third Prince anymore. I might as well do it myself. No matter what, even if I have to kidnap someone, I have to bring Lin Jin to the palace.'
Inside the lecture hall, Lin Jin continued his lecture.
After he finished talking about the Internal Acupuncture Technique, he started to talk about a part of the pulse-seeking acupuncture technique. By this time, most of the students were already dizzy and could not understand what he was talking about. They could not even keep copying by hand.
Among the students present, only two or three of them were able to keep up with their writing. As for those who were able to understand a little, only two or three of them could do so.
Come to think of it, it was indeed difficult for someone who had just started listening to the pulse-seeking technique. Moreover, strictly speaking, Lin Jin's lecture on the pulse-seeking technique was actually meant for an assistant beast appraiser.
Only a Rank 3 beast appraiser like him would have the necessary knowledge and insight.
For a Rank 4 beast appraiser, this was what it meant to be an instant success. The pulse-seeking technique came from the Museum of Deadly Beasts. There were many types of acupuncture techniques in the world, but without a doubt, the pulse-seeking technique was one of the best.
Even Zhong Zifeng was listening with great interest, nodding his head from time to time.
"Amazing, amazing. The Internal Acupuncture Technique I was talking about was probably just a part of this technique. This technique is amazing, especially when it comes to controlling needles. From what I can see, this technique isn't just for treatment, it can also be used to kill without leaving a trace." As expected of a Rank 5 beast appraiser, Zhong Zifeng had only listened to a part of the pulse-seeking technique and he had already grasped its essence. He had even deduced the existence of the 'coiled wire needle' in the pulse-seeking technique.
Out of everyone present, only Zhong Zifeng and Shu Xiaolou had such a method.
Time passed slowly.
By the time Lin Jin finished talking about the pulse-seeking technique, he had come to a conclusion. Today's lecture was one-third of the pulse-seeking technique's content and it was a unique style of its own. For the students of the academy, even if they could only comprehend half of it, it would still be a huge improvement.
As for the assistants and teachers, although they wouldn't experience a complete transformation, the improvement was still significant.
Hence, by the time Lin Jin was done, everyone, including Zhong Zifeng, stood up and bowed.
This was a show of respect for a teacher.
To teach by example and to use one's own experience to guide others forward, that was what it meant to be a teacher. Regardless of age or experience, as long as one had learned something and achieved something, they were worthy of this bow.
Lin Jin returned the bow and left without another word.
He couldn't stay here for too long. In fact, Lin Jin had made the right choice. Forget the students, even the teachers were pestering him for more questions. It was fine if it was only one or two, but he couldn't handle too many. Hence, Lin Jin left right after class without looking back.
By the time he returned to Peach Blossom Residence, Shu Xiaolou was already seated inside, sipping tea. She was an art spirit and had even created her own Cosmos Ink, so her speed was unparalleled.
"That wasn't much!" Before Lin Jin could speak, Shu Xiaolou spoke first. "Your pulse-seeking technique is already flawless and your own realm has been perfected. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you've reached the peak of perfection. You've been studying it for an entire night without sleeping, so you must have learned something new. Come, tell me about it. Don't hide it from me."
Lin Jin smiled bitterly.
Shu Xiaolou was a curious baby. As long as it was something she didn't know, she would try her best to learn about it. Moreover, her instincts were incredibly accurate. Lin Jin had indeed learned a lot from the Museum of Deadly Beasts last night.
However, Lin Jin felt that he should keep the 'Spirit Casting Needle' a secret for a little longer. If he couldn't even pass this little test, it was only a matter of time before he was' drained 'by Shu Xiaolou.
Lin Jin waved his hand, refusing to admit it. "I wasn't hiding it."
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Lin Jin quickly went to open the door and saw an elderly man standing outside. He was dressed plainly but had a unique aura about him.
Beside him was Appraiser Ouyang.
"Teacher Lin, this is the palace's chief internal official, Minister Yan." Lin Jin immediately identified the other party. Lin Jin immediately understood that this person was serving Emperor Tianxuan.
No wonder he had such a unique aura.
"Greetings, Inner Officer Yan!" Lin Jin saluted.
He was curious as to why Emperor Tianxuan's most trusted aide would pay him a visit.
Unbeknownst to Lin Jin, Emperor Tianxuan had already summoned him twice. Both times, he was delayed due to other matters. Also, neither Shang'er nor Shu Xiaolou took this matter to heart. Hence, no one reminded Lin Jin about it.
