Museum of Deadly Beasts

“It’s morning already?”

“Time went by so fast, I didn’t even realize it.”

“It wasn’t enough. I want to hear more.”

The group of youngsters started complaining. But they couldn’t help it as there wasn’t enough time. They had to take up consultations later so they couldn’t stay there.

As they left, they all pondered and digested what Lin Jin had said last night. The knowledge he shared should take them quite some time to assimilate.

Although they had had to stay up the entire night, these young appraisers were still enthusiastic because a portion of their goals for coming to Jade Dragon’s Beast Appraisal Headquarters had been achieved.

And that was to gain Appraiser Lin’s guidance.

Not only because they gained tons of profound knowledge, but because they had also received Lin Jin’s teachings so they could brag about being Lin Jin’s students.

Never underestimate such an identity as this could be used to elevate their status and gain respect in every situation. This affected not only them but also their entire families.

Lin Jin obviously didn’t know about their thoughts.

He wasn’t tired either. At his strength level, even if he was only mortal, he could go on far longer without rest or sleep by borrowing his pet beasts’ strengths.

In a sense, he couldn’t be considered mortal anymore.

He was just a different sort of immortal.

This morning he would be taking consultations too, as promised yesterday. To him, attending to twenty cases a day was far too easy.

The headquarters had prepared a temporary but satisfying consultation hall for him. It seemed like the customers had already been waiting even before dawn.

Everyone saluted in greeting upon Lin Jin’s arrival.

The consultations began.

When it came to beast appraising, in most cases, Lin Jin no longer had to touch the beasts to learn of their condition or even find minor illnesses. Just by observing, he could already produce an evaluation report.

What surprised him was that all twenty of his first customers didn’t have any rare beasts, nor did their pets bear any severe illnesses.

Even regular beast appraisers could have solved their problems.

He later realized that these customers weren’t there because they had tough requests, but they had only come for Lin Jin’s fame.

No doubt, these people were all dignitaries, but Lin Jin felt it a waste of time.

If other beast appraisers could handle their cases, he need not spend the time here.

And so, Lin Jin finished attending to all twenty customers in two hours. With the remaining time, he called Tan Xun over to ask if there were any tough cases that the headquarters had problems solving.

Every appraisal association had to have one, just like how medical halls had patients with intractable diseases. After all, not every problem could be solved.

Tan Xun understood Lin Jin’s intention so he pondered for a bit before saying, “There is one. A wealthy young master of our city had formed a blood contract with a rare beast he bought from another continent. Alas, his health has been deteriorating every day since. A few of our appraisers had tried diagnosing his situation but we couldn’t find the problem.”

Lin Jin asked, “If it’s the young master who is unwell, shouldn’t he see a physician instead?”

Tan Xun answered, “They’ve already tried that, and because there is no solution, they came to us instead. The young master is ill now but his pet beast seems completely fine. None of us found any issues and everything appears normal.”

Tan Xun sounded helpless as he couldn’t help with the case because they couldn’t even find the problem, much less solve it.

Lin Jin was immediately intrigued.

The harder the better.

“Take me to him,” Lin Jin requested. Tan Xun was stunned and he urged, “Appraiser Lin, you’re much too reputable right now.”

He had spoken with audible concern.

Lin Jin understood why. It would have no effect on him if he didn’t go as no one knew where the problem stemmed from. But if he did, he would be giving the family hope.

And if he failed to find an issue, this would surely affect his reputation.

After all, everyone was saying that there was no problem in the world Lin Jin couldn’t solve. He had already become a living god in everyone’s hearts.

Hence, it was better to stay out of trouble if he could afford it.

Lin Jin understood Tan Xun’s goodwill but he remained nonchalant.

“I don’t care for vanity. There is no need to concern yourself with it, Appraiser Tan.”

Despite the simple response, it showed his state of mind. Tan Xun was impressed and said no more. He simply guided Lin Jin out of the headquarters.

As the young master wasn’t well and his efforts to seek a doctor were fruitless, he was now resting at home. So if Lin Jin were to examine his situation, he had to go over instead.

Despite being called a wealthy young master, Jade Dragon City had tons of such aristocrats that they were everywhere. As Lin Jin looked at the mansion up ahead, he felt that the scale of it was rather similar to his mansion in Maple City.

However, this was the royal capital where every inch of land fetched a handsome price. Such a massive residence was considered special enough and was definitely better than what the average folk could afford.

Tan Xun knocked while Lin Jin studied the surroundings.

He was experienced enough and his aura-sensing abilities were stronger now, though he still had to rely on his pet beast for this.

Something crimson in color flashed past his eyes before his vision returned to normal.

“There is monster energy here.” Lin Jin became interested.

From inside the mansion, Lin Jin could sense a rather unique monster energy. But it was very discreet as if it was being concealed by a spell. That way, it could deceive most people and even beasts with very keen senses.

Could the young master’s blood contract beast be a monster?

If that was it, this would be a case of a monster harming a human. Would it be that simple?

Wouldn’t Tan Xun and the other appraisers be able to tell if it were a monster?

Maybe. Unless the monster had a very high cultivation level. Just like Shang’er, if she were to conceal her aura, she could deceive even Appraiser Tan.

A servant opened the door. Tan Xun explained the reason for their arrival and the servant quickly reported it to his master excitedly. Soon, the entire family came out to greet them.

Lin Jin’s identity was now like a billboard made of gold, effective everywhere. Tan Xun didn’t have to hide their identities or put on disguises either, not that Lin Jin asked him to.

Soon, they were sitting in the family’s living room.

The patriarch was a businessman in his fifties, chubby and in good health. He had great mannerisms too. Judging by their interior decoration and manner of speech, Lin Jin could tell they were a scholarly family.

After a round of pleasantries, the patriarch had someone bring his son over.. Upon seeing the young master, Lin Jin frowned.
