After feeding the shadow wolf some more pills, Lin Jin left it alone. Now, the shadow wolf just needed to rest and recuperate.
Through this experience, Lin Jin's understanding of the pulse-seeking technique had risen to a new level.
Although the Museum of Deadly Beasts had all sorts of beast appraisal methods and rewarded acupuncture techniques, no matter how good they were, practice was still required.
Only by tempering the connection over and over again could one truly digest and control it.
Of this, there was no doubt.
Next, Lin Jin planned to visit the association.
It was for no other reason than to see if people would still point fingers at him when they saw him now.
Of course they would, but they wouldn't be badmouthing him. Instead, they would be filled with admiration and admiration.
Lin Jin didn't want to miss out on this opportunity to show off. In the past, people had always looked down on him. Now that he could finally hold his head up high, why wouldn't he go? He had to go back. Even if it was just one round, it would be worth it.
However, before he could leave, Zu Can stopped him.
"Brother Lin, you've really done well today." Although Zu Can was the young master of a prominent family, he didn't put on airs. Since he and Lin Jin got along well, they quickly became good friends. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged his father over to support Lin Jin this morning.
More importantly, his father was initially reluctant, but when he returned, he cautiously told Zu Can that he had to build a good relationship with Lin Jin.
Needless to say, Zu Tianhong could tell that Lin Jin had limitless potential. If he didn't befriend someone like him now, he would be out of his mind.
"Brother Zu, you're here. Come, come, follow me to the association first." Lin Jin was very enthusiastic. Zu Can had brought someone to support him at a crucial time. Lin Jin was going to make a friend like this.
"Don't!" Zu Can quickly waved his hand. "I'm here for something important, Brother Lin. Come, come with me."
Having said that, he forcefully dragged Lin Jin down another path. Clearly, they weren't going to the Beast Appraisal Association.
Along the way, Lin Jin learned that Zu Can wanted him to participate in an event called the 'Maple Flower Festival'.
"I'm not interested!" Lin Jin didn't want to go. It was better to show off at the association.
Zu Can hurriedly pulled him back. "Brother Lin, not just anyone can attend the Maple Flower Festival. Many people want to go but they can't. Those who can attend are the dignitaries of Maple City. They're all people of high status."
"Moreover, we're not really going to admire the flowers. I'm not interested in that anyway. The main point is that there will be a pet beast auction at the flower festival. You know my family's situation, we have a lot of people and we need a lot of pet beasts. This time, we're here to buy some pet beasts with good potential. I believe no one is better than Brother Lin when it comes to appraising pet beasts. That's why I'm shamelessly asking you for help. We're friends, so please don't turn me down."
Zu Can was afraid that Lin Jin wouldn't go. And when Lin Jin heard about the pet beast auction, he was tempted as well.
There was no other reason.
There would definitely be some rare beasts there. If he could record them in the Museum of Deadly Beasts, then he would be one step closer to obtaining the second part of the Beast Energy Formation.
"Well, since we're friends, I'll help you with this," Lin Jin said generously.
Zu Can was overjoyed. He led the way and soon, they arrived at a spacious street. Opposite them was a tall red brick wall.
"This is Spring Garden. It belongs to the Friar Association and isn't usually open to the public. It's only open twice a year during spring and autumn. This time, it's the autumn flower festival," Zu Can explained to Lin Jin.
At the entrance of Spring Garden, people were arriving one after another. Most of them were in horse carriages while some were riding on pet beasts. Judging by their aura, they weren't your average citizens.
Lin Jin remembered that Lu Yunhe was also a member of the Friar Association. Apparently, he was one of the more outstanding members of the association's younger generation.
Lin Jin wondered if he could meet Lu Yunhe here.
When they arrived at the entrance, the guard greeted Zu Can with a smile. After all, Zu Can was the young master of the Zu family with an extraordinary status. But at the sight of Lin Jin, he immediately stopped him.
"Young Master Zu, does this gentleman have an invitation to the flower festival?"
The gatekeeper asked.
Lin Jin was dressed plainly and didn't look like a distinguished person.
Zu Can immediately answered, "This is Appraiser Lin from the Beast Appraisal Association. He's also my friend."
The guard shook his head. "Young Master Zu, please don't make things difficult for me. You know the rules of the flower festival. Without an invitation, no one is allowed to enter."
There was such a rule?
Lin Jin was stunned. Noticing the awkward look on Zu Can's face, he knew that Zu Can had been too careless. He probably didn't care about this at all. Perhaps, he thought it was fine for him to bring a friend in as the young master of the Zu family.
However, rules were rules. If he couldn't enter, so be it. It didn't really matter.
Feeling disrespectful, Zu Can wanted to roll up his sleeves and reprimand him but Lin Jin reached out to hold him back.
"Brother Zu, don't make things difficult for him. I don't have an invitation to begin with. It's fine if I don't want to go." Lin Jin thought this was a small matter and there was no need to make a big deal out of it.
He could just return to the Beast Appraisal Association for a visit.
Although Zu Can felt aggrieved and embarrassed, since Lin Jin had said so, what else could he say? More importantly, Lin Jin's grip was so strong that Zu Can couldn't break free.
"Brother Lin, it's my fault for not understanding the situation clearly. I thought …" Zu Can felt guilty.
Lin Jin waved him off with a smile. Not taking it to heart, he planned to leave.
Just then, a woman shouted, "How dare you come to the Maple Flower Festival without an invitation? What a disgrace. Lin Jin, you're still as ignorant as ever. "
Huh?
Lin Jin turned to see a well-dressed woman alighting from a horse carriage. Behind her was a large maned hound.
However, upon seeing Xiao Huo beside Lin Jin, the mighty maned hound shrank back like a mouse meeting a cat, not daring to come forward.
This obviously annoyed the woman and she silently cursed Lin Jin for being useless.
It took Lin Jin a while to remember who this woman was. Her name seemed to be Chen Yuanyuan. This predecessor of his was once engaged to the young lady of the Chen family's medicine hall. They met at the Chen family's medicine hall a few days ago and the impression she gave Lin Jin was that she was unruly and unreasonable.
In fact, Lin Jin and this woman didn't know each other. Since she had broken off the engagement with his predecessor, they should have gone their separate ways. Why did she have to mock and belittle him every time they met?
This was ridiculous.
Could it be that his predecessor had slept with her?
Lin Jin quickly searched through his memories.
He couldn't.
Then what was this woman up to?
Zu Can frowned. "Chen Yuanyuan, you're a lady from a respectable family. You've been studying and learning etiquette since you were young. How could you be so rude?"
He didn't know about Chen Yuanyuan and Lin Jin.
Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Zu Can and restrained herself a little. Still, she mocked him, "Zu Can, you're the young master of the Zu family. I can't afford to offend your family. But I find it strange that you, the young master of the Zu family, are so unpicky when it comes to making friends. You can call any piece of trash your brother. What a joke!"
She was still targeting Lin Jin.
