Beast taming was a profound skill that not everyone could master. However, it was easy to detect signs of taming. This was the basics.
Even Wei Changyong knew a little about it.
Wei Changyong was confident that the man must have used some tricks. Otherwise, that ferocious rooster wouldn't have been taken away by him. Whether it was talismans, spirit seals, or beast taming pills, they were all traceable. As long as he could find them, he would be able to prove that the man was a scammer.
He was very confident.
But soon, Zhang He's expression darkened. He couldn't find any traces of talismans, spirit seals, or beast taming pills.
"This …"
Zhang He panicked. If he was the only one doing the appraisal, he could still lie. But now that so many people were here, he couldn't lie anymore.
"Are there any signs of it being tamed?" Lin Jin asked.
Zhang He's expression changed but he could only answer honestly, "No."
"That's impossible!" Wei Changyong panicked. He thought it was a foolproof plan so there couldn't be any problems.
Lin Jin couldn't be bothered to answer.
Wei Changyong and the others had no idea that Lin Jin was using Beast Deterrence. It wasn't one of the three beast taming methods but something more advanced.
And so, Wei Changyong's card was played for nothing.
Anyone with a brain would never believe this accusation. After all, similar chickens could be found everywhere.
At this moment, one of the people that Wei Changyong had brought said, "This doesn't seem to be the same one. This one's fur color is brighter and it's bigger. Also, the yellow pattern on its comb is gone. It's only been a few days. If it was the same one, it wouldn't have changed so much."
The person who spoke was obviously straightforward. Most villagers were like this. Moreover, Wei Changyong had invited them here to testify for him. He hadn't colluded with them beforehand. It was also Wei Changyong who was certain that the rooster beside Lin Jin was his.
In the end, he was' stabbed 'at a crucial moment by his own people, crippling his own cultivation. Wei Changyong almost fainted from anger.
Needless to say, everyone could tell what was going on.
"This person came to scam people without even understanding the situation. What a joke."
"Yeah. No matter how useless Lin Jin is, he wouldn't lie about his pet beast. Plus, there's no way he could have done it."
Lin Jin flicked his sleeve. "The exam is starting soon. I'm not going to play around with you guys anymore."
"I think you're the one who's messing around," a voice said.
Turning around, he saw that Wang Ji had arrived.
Not only Wang Ji, but there were also a few others. A group of people walked over aggressively.
"It's President Wang Ji!"
"Elder Nan Gongxian as well."
"These two are the big shots of the association. I can't believe they showed up at the same time."
"The woman beside President Wang Ji is so beautiful. Who is she?"
Everyone discussed among themselves and made way for him.
Wang Ji walked up to Lin Jin.
Wang Ji had also seen the situation just now. Knowing that Wei Changyong's move was useless, he personally stepped in.
In any case, he wasn't planning on letting Lin Jin take the exam today. Even if he had to resort to some despicable means, he wouldn't mind. After all, Lin Jin was alone and had no one to help him. On the other hand, there were quite a few people on his side who wanted to trample on Lin Jin.
Lin Jin frowned at the sight of Wang Ji.
Moreover, there was also Nan Gongxian. There was also a girl who looked very familiar.
"It's you?"
Lin Jin remembered now. Wasn't this the woman he met at the emergency hall a few days ago? Back then, he thought she was Zhao Ying's friend so he decided to treat her. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
However, even if it was a misunderstanding, this woman's reaction was too overbearing.
Now, it seemed like this woman had to be someone important. Otherwise, people like Wang Ji and Nan Gongxian wouldn't be crowding around her.
Could she be an inspector sent by headquarters?
Only an inspector sent by headquarters had the authority to revoke his qualifications as a beast appraiser.
"Lin Jin, this is the inspector sent by headquarters, Appraiser Tan Lin. She has verified your previous appraisal accident and as an official beast appraiser, you will bear full responsibility for it. After a discussion with Elder Nan, Appraiser Tan Lin, and I, we feel that someone like you is no longer suitable to be a beast appraiser. Hence, we've decided to revoke your qualifications to participate in the beast appraiser's exam and you'll never be hired again."
Wang Ji said seriously with a straight face. At the same time he pointed out Tan Lin's identity, he also said something that shocked everyone present.
To put it simply, Lin Jin was blacklisted and stripped of his qualifications to take the exam.
"This is ruthless. Lin Jin is done for."
"Chief Wang and the others must have just made their decision. Look, the victim of the appraisal accident is here too."
Sure enough, a young man was glaring at Lin Jin from the crowd. Behind him was a wolf beast with its head hanging low. It was as thin as a match, covered in wounds, and looked dispirited.
"This wolf beast is the one Lin Jin said was an upper-grade pet beast. It doesn't look like much but Lin Jin appraised the wrong pet beast and even forced the victim to form a blood contract on the spot. It's definitely an accident."
"But this punishment is a little too severe … Blacklisted. His future is ruined."
As the crowd discussed, Wang Ji had the young man step forward. "Lin Jin, don't say that we're targeting you. Look, this young man had a bright future ahead of him but because of you, he formed a blood contract with a flawed pet beast. Even if he were to cancel the blood contract, it would take a long time before he could form a blood contract with another pet beast. He's going to take the Friar Association's entrance exam this year. Without a pet beast, how could he take the exam? If he misses a year, he'll have to wait another year. For this reason alone, are you willing to be blacklisted? "
Lin Jin glanced at the young man and the pet beast beside him before walking over. Ignoring the young man, he reached out to touch the wolf beast's head.
Due to the fact that this wolf beast was a flawed pet beast, the young man didn't like it. He probably wasn't given good food either so it was starving to this extent. As for the wounds on its body, it must have been abused.
After touching it, the Museum of Deadly Beasts immediately recorded it.
The specimen and the stone tablet's attributes appeared.
Lin Jin scanned through the results on the stone tablet and his eyes lit up.
Truth be told, Lin Jin had nothing to say about his predecessor's appraisal mistake. After all, an accident was an accident. No amount of excuses would be enough.
However, if he had the Museum of Deadly Beasts, there might be a way to fix this wolf beast's flaws.
But now, not only was there a way, this wolf beast wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Rank 1 wolf beast in a blood contract state."
"Shadow wolf. Dual attributes of wind and wood. Hidden bloodline, nether!"
"Flawed bones and veins. There are eleven ways to fix it. They are …"
"Seven ways to evolve it. They are …"
"Three ways to activate its bloodline …"
Lin Jin read through the descriptions one by one. He had to admit that this wolf beast was quite rare. Even among all the rare beasts he had encountered in the past few days, it could be considered one of the top few.
Now, Lin Jin had a plan.
