Everyone was shocked to see Lin Jin poking the needle into the swordtail mink. The swordtail mink's owner asked anxiously, "You … What are you doing?"
The heart was a vital point. This was true for both humans and beasts.
After being poked by a needle, even if the beast survived, it would surely die now.
The swordtail mink's owner panicked and was about to rush forward when Xiao Huo stopped him.
Lin Jin didn't explain. He used the Wind Thunder Stone the size of a grain of rice and activated it using the 'Thunder Guiding Technique' recorded in the museum. In the next instant, the Wind Thunder Stone surged with tiny yellow lightning bolts.
The female apprentice who removed the earring gasped in surprise. Due to its small size, the wind thunder stone couldn't be used in medicine nor was it worth it for pet beasts to absorb and activate spells. Instead, it was made into an earring. To her surprise, Appraiser Lin was able to make the stone emit lightning bolts with just a simple trick.
What trick was this?
She wasn't the only one who couldn't tell what was going on. The wind thunder stone was a type of 'spirit stone' and wasn't rare. Due to its luster, it was often made into accessories.
Its main use was to enhance pet beasts, use it in medicine, and embed it into artifacts to enhance its wind thunder attribute.
However, no one had ever seen anyone who could directly use the wind thunder stone to trigger lightning bolts.
Lin Jin then placed the lightning stone on the needle. With just a touch, the motionless swordtail mink shuddered and woke up.
"Alright, it's not a big problem. Take it back and let it rest." Having said that, Lin Jin returned the earring to the female apprentice. "Sorry, there's some blood on it. Wash it yourself."
Both of Lin Jin's hands were covered in blood and so were his clothes. Yet, he remained calm as if what he had just done was insignificant.
Unbeknownst to him, the crowd was already in awe. No one knew who started the applause, but soon, thunderous applause filled the hall.
All the apprentices couldn't help but applaud. Their gazes were glowing as they looked at Lin Jin, especially the female apprentices who subconsciously gulped.
They were impressed.
They couldn't help but be impressed. This was supposed to be a dead end but Appraiser Lin managed to save it. His skills were simply miraculous.
"An official Rank 1 beast appraiser is truly amazing."
"Our Emergency Hall has picked up a treasure this time."
In just half an hour, the emergency hall's attitude toward Lin Jin had undergone an earth-shattering change.
"I'll rest for a while. You guys continue!"
Having said that, Lin Jin sat down. This time, no one had any objections.
In the emergency hall, only the strong had the right to speak. Now that Lin Jin had displayed his authority, no one would dare to disobey him in the emergency hall from now on.
Lin Jin who was sitting beside them wasn't really tired. He was just going through the museum's' rewards'.
That's right, the museum had a new reward this time.
This was because Lin Jin had saved more than twenty heavily injured pet beasts. Lin Jin had never counted the number of pet beasts he had saved.
The reward was different from before. It wasn't the power to intimidate beasts, nor was it a cultivation technique for beasts. Instead, it was a set of Spirit Needle Technique.
Pulse-seeking Acupuncture Technique!
As a beast appraiser, the spirit needle technique might be used during pet beast appraisal and treatment. This was also a basic skill that was required to be learned in the beast appraiser's school.
Of course, the same skill required different mastery levels. In short, it was a skill that required a long period of practice.
The 'Pulse-seeking Acupuncture Technique' rewarded by the museum was clearly more powerful than the average spirit needle technique. There was no comparison at all. Just by using needles to seal off a pet beast's attributes, it could even be used to stimulate the pet beast to achieve an effect similar to 'Berserk'. This was already impressive enough.
More importantly, this technique could be used to defend against enemies.
In other words, it could be used to fight.
At this point, Lin Jin couldn't help but recall a well-known figure from his previous world.
Invincible East!
Lin Jin shuddered at the name, feeling an inexplicable chill between his legs.
However, to be honest, this' Pulse-seeking Acupuncture Technique 'was truly amazing. Lin Jin was unwittingly engrossed in it. When outsiders saw him, they thought he was too tired from treating pet beasts so no one dared to disturb him.
Not far away, Zhao Ying, Lu Xiaoyun, and Han Dong, who had just received word that Lin Jin had been sent to the emergency hall, hurried over.
They were infuriated.
Killing someone was but a small matter. For an official beast appraiser, having his consultation hall shut down was a great humiliation. Now, he had to be sent to the emergency hall on the same day. No one would be able to tolerate this kind of precaution.
However, Appraiser Lin didn't argue, nor did he try to explain himself. He simply carried out his duty.
Lu Xiaoyun had wanted to cause a scene and argue with Wang Ji but was stopped by Zhao Ying and Han Dong.
Zhao Ying and Han Dong were much calmer. After analyzing the situation, they concluded that it would be useless to cause a scene now. Instead, they would become a laughing stock. As Appraiser Lin's apprentices, they couldn't afford to cause trouble now.
Hence, the three of them agreed to come to the emergency hall to help out.
When the emergency hall staff saw the three of them, they naturally wanted to question them. After learning that they were Appraiser Lin's apprentices, they recounted the thrilling treatment earlier.
"Appraiser Lin's skills are superb and he has a noble character. We're all convinced. Let's not disturb Appraiser Lin. He's tired, let him rest for a while."
At this, Zhao Ying and the other two rolled up their sleeves and stayed at the emergency hall to help out.
Since Lin Jin was their 'mentor', they would follow him wherever he went.
...
"Haha, let's see if that Lin Jin still has the face to stay in the association!" On the other side, Dong He was in high spirits. After the consultation, he returned to his consultation hall.
Although he wasn't as lucrative as when he was in the logistics department, his status was much higher than before.
After all, he was now a licensed beast appraiser with his own consultation hall.
In the Beast Appraisal Association, other than official beast appraisers, only a handful of apprentices could have their own consultation halls. Just like Jia Qian and Zhang He, who were ranked highly in the association. Consulting was undoubtedly the fastest way to increase one's qualifications. After all, without a certain level of qualifications, even if Lin Jin were to be fired in the future, Dong He wouldn't be able to take up the position.
Sitting in his chair, Dong He looked at the exquisitely decorated consultation hall, feeling like everything was under his control.
"You don't say, consulting feels great." Dong He took a sip of tea, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Over the past two days, he had appraised and treated more than ten beasts. As none of them were difficult, he was bursting with confidence.
Just then, his assistant came in and said, "Appraiser Dong, there's an emergency outside. Appraiser Gao has too many people with him so he arranged for you to be here. It's someone from Maple City's Chamber of Commerce."
The meaning behind his last sentence was obvious. The other party was a 'backdoor entrant'.
Dong He was brimming with confidence now so he waved his hand. "Let him in. I'll take a look."
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe entered with two people carrying a 'stretcher'.
On the stretcher was a large iron crab.
