Han Dong suddenly kneeling down and kowtowing truly gave everyone a fright.
Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun were still unaware of Han Dong's identity as a 'spy' so Lin Jin had no intention of telling them. They stepped forward and said, "Han Dong, if you have any trouble, just tell us. We're fellow students so even if Master Lin can't help, we won't sit idly by."
They clearly thought Han Dong was in trouble.
But when Han Dong explained the reason, they finally realized what was going on.
It was because of his pet beast.
"If it's about that, then there's even less to worry about. Master Lin might not be able to help with anything else, but as long as it's related to pet beasts, Master Lin will have a solution no matter what it is."
The two ladies had seen Lin Jin's skills so many times in beast appraisal and treatment that they admired him even more.
Lin Jin put on a straight face and said, "How many times have I told you? Don't be arrogant just because you have some tricks up your sleeves. Also, beast appraisal and treatment are never guaranteed."
He looked like a teacher.
However, Lin Jin added inwardly, 'No one can appraise a beast with a hundred percent success rate, but I'm an exception.'
Indeed, with the Museum of Deadly Beasts, Lin Jin's success rate was one hundred percent.
Lin Jin glanced at Han Dong. Although this man was all smiles to everyone, he still had his own pride. The fact that he was willing to kneel for his pet beast showed how much he valued his relationships.
"Get up, Han Dong. Remember, a man's knees are made of gold. Kneel to the heavens and kneel to your parents. Other than them, no one else is worth kneeling to." After lecturing the man, Lin Jin reached out to touch Han Dong's pet beast.
Han Dong shuddered at this.
Based on this statement alone, even if Appraiser Lin couldn't save his pet beast, he would still pledge his undying loyalty to Appraiser Lin.
Because no one had ever valued him so much, treating him as a person with dignity.
"Rank 1 pet beast, hardened horned boar. Earth attribute."
"Poisoned state. Damaged organs. Residual poison blocking the veins. There are ten ways to treat it, namely …"
"There are seven types of advancement methods, which are …"
While Lin Jin was checking the pet beast's attributes in the museum, Han Dong was feeling anxious. He remembered clearly that not even Elder Nan could do anything about his pet beast.
He didn't dare to ask so he could only stand aside and watch anxiously.
He was afraid to hear the word 'powerless'.
After all, his pet beast had been injured for more than a year now. Even Master Lin was helpless against such an old ailment.
While his thoughts were running wild, Lin Jin stood up and said, "And here I was wondering how big of a deal it would be. It's just some internal injuries, residual toxins, and blockages of arteries. It's simple."
Han Dong could not react in time.
Lin Jin activated the power of his blood contract and mobilized his spirit energy. He took out his needles and pierced them into a dozen acupoints on the boar's body. The angle and strength were perfect.
Then, he pointed at the wild boar's abdomen.
With a howl, the wild boar spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Han Dong was startled, but the wild boar that had spat out black blood was clearly more spirited.
"Alright!"
Lin Jin retrieved the needles as if he had just done something insignificant.
Is that all?
Han Dong could tell that Lin Jin seemed to be saying that his pet beast's chronic illness had been resolved.
"Han Dong, you're also an apprentice beast appraiser. Tell me, how can I verify the effectiveness of a treatment in a situation like this?" Lin Jin wanted to test the man.
Han Dong pondered for a moment before answering with a serious expression, "Master Lin, my pet beast has accumulated toxins in its body and damaged its internal organs. The most troublesome part is the venomous arteries. To verify the effectiveness of the treatment, you just have to activate the Energy Explosion spell."
Admittedly, Han Dong's basic skills were quite solid.
There were some basic spells to control pet beasts and 'Energy Explosion' was one of them. It was a low-level version of 'Berserk' and even apprentice beast appraisers could master it.
Energy Explosion could activate spirit energy to connect the acupoints on the pet beast's body, increasing its strength and explosiveness.
However, Han Dong's pet beast couldn't use Energy Explosion due to its chronic illness in the past. Now, to verify the effectiveness of the treatment, Energy Explosion was the best way to do it.
Lin Jin nodded. "Let's give it a try."
Excited, Han Dong immediately took out a beast talisman and activated Energy Explosion.
The beast talisman burned and turned into spirit energy that was injected into the wild boar's body. Immediately, a powerful aura erupted from the beast's body, stirring up dust and flapping its clothes.
"It's really healed!" Han Dong was now absolutely certain that Appraiser Lin had cured his pet beast's chronic illness that had been plaguing him for more than a year with just a wave of his hand.
Han Dong had expected this outcome. Now, he was even more certain that he would follow Appraiser Lin from now on. Even if he had to do anything, he would be willing.
"I wanted to help your pet beast evolve, but your pet beast has just recovered from its illness and its veins aren't stable yet. Forcing it to evolve would bring more harm than good so let's wait for a few more days." Having said that, Lin Jin glanced at the messy yard and said apologetically, "We're guests at Masterchef Liao's place and it's not appropriate to leave this place in such a state. Come, help me clean this up."
"Alright!"
"Master Lin, we'll do it. Take a break!"
Han Dong and the other two immediately got to work, full of vigor. Han Dong, in particular, was bursting with energy. He was overjoyed today. Not only was he not chased out by Master Lin after confessing, but Master Lin had also treated his pet beast with extraordinary means.
He would never be able to repay Lin Jin's kindness in this lifetime.
Han Dong made up his mind. From now on, no matter what Master Lin ordered, he would carry it out.
After helping Masterchef Liao tidy up the yard, Lin Jin and the others took their leave.
Lin Jin had Zhao Ying and the others return to the association while he brought Goldy, sapphire turtle, and his pet beasts home. He had no choice. His consultation hall had been sealed so even if he went back, he wouldn't have a place to stay so he could only leave his pet beasts at home.
Fortunately, his house had been renovated by several craftsmen so it was almost done. When he returned, the roof would be sealed up and after some tidying up, he would be able to move in.
After paying the craftsmen, Lin Jin finally had a place to stay.
Goldy was now Rank 3 but he was still arrogant. Lin Jin couldn't be bothered with him as Goldy knew his limits and wouldn't cause any trouble.
The sapphire turtle was placed in the yard so Xiao Huo could follow Lin Jin around.
Although his consultation hall had been shut down, he still had to return to the association. After all, he was still a member. Moreover, Lin Jin planned to take the next beast appraiser advancement exam so he had to go back and register for it.
Once he returned to the association, the people around him looked at him differently.
The reason was simple. Getting his consultation hall shut down was too impactful for a beast appraiser. In Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association, there hadn't been a single case of this happening in the past few decades.
Lin Jin was the first.
Lin Jin couldn't be bothered with the finger-pointing and gossiping. Now that he was free and didn't have to sit in a consultation hall, he was free to go wherever he wanted as long as he stayed within the association.
Lin Jin then led Xiao Huo straight to the association's management office.
If he wanted to register for the beast appraiser advancement exam, he had to pass through this place.
The association's management office was known as the management office, but in reality, it was only responsible for reviewing the applications for the apprentice advancement exam and the official beast appraiser advancement exam. Hence, no one would usually come here.
With fewer people, it was quiet and peaceful.
Unlike the bustling association in front of him, the management office not far away was quiet and peaceful. A small wooden tower was planted with trees, and there were three houses in the forest, forming a square. The courtyard was paved with green bricks, and it was clean and spotless. In the middle was an incense burner. The incense burner was ten feet tall, and its smoke was like a bamboo pole. The wind could not disperse it, and it rose straight into the sky.
