Chapter 6, is undoubtedly a fraudster
Indeed, there are benefits

At that moment, a sarcastic voice rang out: "A first-tier beast appraiser, how rare! Why is this esteemed appraiser not enjoying a life of leisure in the city, but has deigned to come here?"
Suddenly, a new memory emerged in Lin's mind, a method of using spiritual energy to intimidate wild beasts
At this moment, Wei Changyong's eyes shifted, and he immediately said: "Go to the backyard and bring me that strange chicken we collected last time."
However, he finds it simple and easy, while in the eyes of others, it is quite different
Aside from his hands being tired from writing, to be honest, he found it quite relaxing. Moreover, Lin Jin discovered an interesting fact: every time he appraised a beast pet, it would be recorded in the Beast Museum, and even form a sort of catalog for easy reference. The originally deep and dim museum appeared even brighter and more spacious than before
As long as it is not too far from being correct, this task for today can be considered completed
1st stage yellow-skinned cow, earth attribute, strong and durable, unfortunately lacks promotion potential
No, I have heard that beast appraisal is a very rigorous matter, requiring the use of beast symbols, opening the method eye, and at least having a magical seal to identify attributes. However, this person is just touching, which makes me feel a bit unreliable
Wei Bi did not understand: "Even if he is a fraud, what does that have to do with us?"
In the crowd, one person stared intently at Lin Jinyi's sleeve, then turned their eyes and quietly left
There is still quite a bit of time before dark, yet they actually finished.
The originally long queue now has only a few people left
On the street
Wei Changyong wore an expression of disbelief, saying: "You must be foolish. I have been identifying beasts for ten years; I have seen all kinds of rare and exotic creatures. I can at least identify a few characteristics. But that chicken, I truly cannot discern its origins at all. Just think about it, if I cannot figure it out, how could that fraud possibly do so? Not to mention a fraud; even a legitimate beast identifier might not be able to tell anything. So when the time comes and he cannot identify it, won't that just give us the opportunity to speak as we wish?"
Very simple
Just as I thought of this, I heard a ringing sound. A mark flew into the Beast Museum, rushing into the depths of consciousness, and then a voice emerged
The voice is loud and vast, possessing a supreme majesty
She had secretly read the contents of several beast appraisal books, and upon examining those beast pets, she found that they were indeed accurate. Moreover, the depth of the appraisal results revealed the extensive knowledge of the beast appraiser. If it were her, even with various complex appraisal methods, she would likely not be able to produce such detailed appraisal conclusions.
Is this a joke?
Doubts arise in my heart, yet I dare not ask; I can only murmur privately.
At this moment, Lin was completely stunned
In less than half a day's time, Zhao Ying, who originally had a considerable opinion of Lin Jin, has already changed her perspective and has come to understand a principle.
There is no way around it; competitors are adversaries, and this principle holds true wherever one goes. Therefore, each time the Beast Appraisers Association sends someone down for appraisal, he always pays close attention in secret, contemplating how to create trouble for the other party
Generally speaking, for creatures of this magnitude, the accuracy rate of an apprentice beast appraiser is only 70%, while that of a certified beast appraiser is above 80%
He had actually arrived a long time ago; he was merely observing from the back in secret. As a result, what he saw was consistent with his speculation. That is, the beast appraiser in front of him was undoubtedly a fraud
He has also considered taking the official beast appraisal qualification exam, but the problem is that it is too difficult
Although they are country folk with limited experience, some have witnessed the process of beast appraisal by a beast appraiser. This process is typically very advanced and complex, often requiring at least the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to appraise a single beast pet. However, the individual before them completed the appraisal in no more than ten breaths.
Those rumors must have been maliciously spread by someone to defame Master Lin Jian
The power to deter beasts can intimidate even the most untamed creatures; those below level 3 can be suppressed and deterred.
Under normal circumstances, with so many people, even if there are ten beast appraisers, it would still take at least half a day. If they encounter rare exotic species, it would take even more time, and it is common to spend an entire day on such matters
This speed is simply terrifying
Wei Changyong pondered for a moment and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That makes sense"
Wei Bi suddenly realized
His craftsmanship is mostly passed down orally from his ancestors, relying on traditional methods, and is not on par with the formal practice of beast appraisal. He has tried, but he simply could not qualify; let alone becoming a certified beast appraiser, he is not even qualified to be an apprentice.
"Trouble them!" Wei Changyong appeared very agitated: "This time, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that they are frauds. The normal Beast Appraisers Association would not send official beast appraisers down here. Moreover, the number of people they sent is also incorrect. Such an obvious flaw, I noticed it at a glance."
Zhao Ying glanced over, hesitating to speak. She was sitting at the back refining elixirs and could not see what Lin Jin was writing. Looking at Lin Jin's expression, he seemed quite serious, not like he was joking around. But wasn't the speed of this beast appraisal a bit too fast?
In the study of beasts, most require the use of beast symbols to observe their characteristics. Lin Jin, however, directly omitted this step. If it were not for the knowledge that Lin Jin possesses "genuine talent and practical skills," Zhao Ying would have thought that Lin Jin was merely scribbling.
This time, when the two of them arrived, Zhao Ying initially thought it would be impossible to identify all the beast pets, but the outcome was completely beyond her expectations
The others did not understand much of what Wei Bi said, but he understood the mention of silver
In just under half an hour, Lin Jin had identified nearly one hundred beast pets, and the beast identification documents he had written filled a large pile.
In a cheerful mood, Lin Jin thought for a moment and continued, "Next."
Such a person despises the Beast Master Association the most
Rumors are not to be trusted
Is this beast appraiser reliable? It seems like he just touches and then starts writing the appraisal conclusion; I noticed he didn't even lift his head
I just don't know whether Master Lin's appraisal of the beast is correct
Just after finishing his words, Wei Changyong slapped the other person's forehead and said: "You fool, you don't understand this? We can see that he is a fraud, but can others not see it? Therefore, as long as I play along with his scheme, go to disrupt the scene, and force him to compete, I will definitely win. In this way, if I promote it further, I will be someone who can overshadow the official beast appraisers. In the future, those who come to us for beast appraisal will surely trample on our doorstep, and that will be a lot of money."
As a self-proclaimed 'folk beast appraiser' without any formal qualifications, he leads a rather comfortable life, with a large courtyard and multiple rooms in his home. His provisions and necessities surpass those of other villagers, and he employs more than a dozen servants in his household
The villagers waiting in line to have their beasts appraised were also feeling uneasy in their hearts
The pen did not leave his hand as he wrote, not even raising his head. With his left hand, he touched the beast, while his right hand continuously wrote, directly extracting various information from the museum of ferocious beasts, selectively transcribing it as if that would suffice.
Wei Changyong expressed his dissatisfaction, saying: "I asked you to observe the Beast Master Association, why have you returned so quickly?"
Brother, I am back. Wei Bi sat beside and took a sip of tea from the cup
Upon hearing this, Wei Bi's complexion turned pale: "That chicken seems a bit sinister, and besides, aren't you also unable to discern its origins?"
Perhaps the other party possesses a higher level of skill

The speaker is Wei Changyong
It can be said that if we seize the time, perhaps we can still make it back to Maple Leaf City in a while
This is a beast face pattern that is only permitted for use by formal beast appraisers. The number of beast patterns represents the level. Lin Jin has a first-ring beast pattern, corresponding to a first-ring beast appraiser. For instance, the president Wang Ji is a second-ring beast appraiser, so there are two beast face ring patterns on the sleeves of his clothing. In contrast, a trainee beast appraiser like Zhao Ying only has a 'fish pattern' on her sleeves, which does not indicate a ring number. Therefore, one can discern strength and level simply by looking at the clothing.
In such places, ordinary people cannot afford to hire a legitimate beast appraiser, nor are they willing to casually capture wild beasts under a blood pact; in case of conflicting attributes, there would be no place to cry. Therefore, there is a market for folk beast appraisers like them
After several setbacks, he completely abandoned his aspirations in this regard
At present, it feels as if one has been invigorated: "Alright, brother, you say how to do it, and I will do it that way"
The existence of all this is due to Wei Changyong's unique skill in identifying beasts using traditional methods
At this moment, he slapped his thigh and stood up, saying: "Let's go!"
Lin glanced at the few remaining people, moved his wrist slightly, and said: "Let's finish up before taking a break"
It is heard that today some members of the association have come down to seize business, and naturally, Wei Changyong is in a bad mood. At this moment, footsteps can be heard from outside; looking up, he sees his cousin Wei Bi.
Due to having cataloged over one hundred beasts, the museum awarded a prize, though it is unclear how effective this prize, the 'Power to Deter Beasts,' actually is
Upon closer inspection, one can indeed see a ring with a beast face pattern at the collar of Lin Jin's sleeve.
Let it be, the ten wen copper coin beast appraisal, what else can one expect? Moreover, they are from the Beast Appraisal Association of Hongye City, so it should be genuine. Look, their sleeves and collar have the beast patterns of the beast appraiser.
In Changping Town, within a luxurious courtyard, Wei Changyong is sitting in a reclining chair enjoying tea
At this moment, I am going to the backyard to carry out a large cage, which is covered with thick cloth. Through the large gaps in the iron cage, a sharp gaze can be faintly seen.
"Brother, I have made a significant discovery." At this moment, Wei Bi spoke eloquently, recounting everything he had seen and heard. Wei Changyong listened attentively, his expression gradually becoming more animated: "Are you saying that the beast appraiser who came this time has a beast face pattern on his sleeve?"
Wei Bimeng nodded and said in a tone similar to that of a colleague: "Indeed, what I witnessed with my own eyes is absolutely true. Brother, think about it, as long as it has the beast face pattern, it signifies a formal beast appraiser. However, throughout history, when it comes to rural beast appraisal, when has the association ever sent a formal beast appraiser? Each time, it has always been seven or eight apprentice appraisers. This time, there is another unusual aspect: they only sent two people, and the way that person appraises beasts is even wilder than yours. I suspect there is something fishy going on, so I hurried back to report this news."
"Master Lin, have a sip of water and take a break," Zhao Ying said, her attitude towards Lin Jin becoming increasingly respectful. Unlike many beast appraisers who approached rural assessments with a perfunctory attitude, producing very simple appraisal reports, every single appraisal report written by Lin Jin was thorough and meticulous. Over one hundred reports were of this caliber, and this dedication left her in admiration.
Beside him, Wei Bi was momentarily taken aback and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
Zhao Ying has gradually become accustomed to it, moving from initial shock to a certain level of familiarity now
Lin had a feeling that continuously identifying the beasts and pets and cataloging them in the museum would yield certain benefits, although he was still unaware of what those benefits might be
Capture over 100 beasts to receive the reward of the basic power of beast deterrence
Her alchemy session had also concluded, and she saw Lin Jin bring over the beast elixir. Without even a glance, he directly administered it to his beast companion. In the past, Zhao Ying might have thought Lin Jin was reckless, but now, what she saw was the confidence of a certified beast appraiser
