Chapter 128: The Excited Ye Yuzhou

Ye Yuzhou knew that his pet beast was shivering desperately right now. But at least it wasn’t going to keel over like that useless tyrannosaurus. It was a Rank 4 creature after all.

Lin Jin came over and entered the fog to touch this soaring cloud flood dragon.

Immediately upon doing so, he noticed the deep and horrible laceration on the dragon’s body.

‘It’s hurt?’

Still pondering what happened to this poor dragon, Lin Jin took out his coiled wire needle to stitch up the wound.

As they were shrouded by fog, even Ye Yuzhou couldn’t tell what Lin Jin was doing inside. By the time Lin Jin came back out, Ye Yuzhou noticed that his pet beast’s injury has been patched up.

‘What amazing skill!’ Ye Yuzhou almost exclaimed out loud.

He had a steadfast enough personality. However, Ye Yuzhou was aware of how difficult it was for an injury of that degree to recover. A flood dragon’s flesh and scales were incredibly tough so ordinary needles and threads wouldn’t work on it. They could only let the wound heal slowly.

Yet, to his surprise, it only took this mysterious curator a few minutes to stitch up the wound. His speed and capability were truly amazing.

Not an ignorant man, Ye Yuzhou saluted Lin Jin at once. “Thank you, Mr. Curator, for helping us.”

Lin Jin waved his hand dismissively.

To him, it was just a small matter.

Meanwhile, he collected some blood from the soaring cloud flood dragon.

This was good stuff that could be used to create a ‘flood dragon blood pill’. And since he managed to record the flood dragon, Lin Jin decided to help them out. It was also a severe injury. If it wasn’t treated right away, further complications may arise in the future.

Being a professional beast appraiser whose job included treating pet beasts on a daily basis, Lin Jin didn’t mind offering his assistance if the situation called for it.

Of course, there were also tough cases that he couldn’t help with right away.

For instance, the case of the babyface spider. The creature’s injuries were far more serious. If Lin Jin’s deduction was correct, the spider must have been hurt by a Rank 5 violent beast, and treating injuries of this degree would take far more time than what was needed to treat the flood dragon.

Lin Jin returned to the second floor before saying, “Right, how should I address my three new guests?”

The newcomers were stunned by this question. Surprisingly, the tyrannosaurus geezer was the first to answer, “My surname is Tian. You can just call me Old Tian!”

Madam Ghost Child answered next, “You can call me Ghost Child.”

“Old Ye!” Ye Yuzhou said with a salute.

These three either offered their surnames or nicknames instead. All in all, no one gave out their real names.

But Lin Jin didn’t mind it. He nodded, remembering their names, and then asked, “Does anyone one of you still have questions?”

The trio kept quiet.

Unable to stand it any longer, He Qing spoke up, “Mister Curator possesses great knowledge. There’s nothing he doesn’t know about pet beasts. Be it treatment for terminal illnesses or evolution methods, Mr. Curator could answer them all. If you don’t use this opportunity, you’ll only regret it later.”

Free advertisement, how convenient.

Ye Yuzhou pondered for a while before initiating a question.

“Mister Curator, can you really answer anything so long as it’s related to pet beasts?”

Being a well-informed man himself, Ye Yuzhou observed the world from a higher place than most people. For this exact reason, he knew that it was impossible for anyone to claim they knew everything about pet beasts. How dare they?

Hence, Ye Yuzhou was skeptical.

But this curator was impressive enough that Ye Yuzhou planned to test his ability.

Lin Jin smiled. “You will understand after trying me.”

Ye Yuzhou took a deep breath before pointing toward the soaring cloud flood dragon behind him. He asked, “Mister Curator, can you provide me with an evaluation report of my pet beast?”

“How hard is that?” Grinning, Lin Jin grabbed a paper and began writing.

It didn’t take long before he filled five pages with his own words. Upon completing the report, he tossed it down to Ye Yuzhou.

When Ye Yuzhou flipped through it, he felt himself being struck by a lightning bolt.

It was incredibly detailed.

Ye Yuzhou’s identity was unique. Forget Maple City, even in the entire Jade Dragon Kingdom, he was a renowned cultivation mentor. It goes without saying that he knew many beast appraisers on a personal basis.

He already had quite a few versions of evaluation reports written about his soaring cloud flood dragon, and each one of them was produced by renowned master beast appraisers. Some were even written by Rank 3 beast appraisers.

Precisely because of this, Ye Yuzhou presumed he knew quite a bit about his own pet beast. In his opinion, this curator’s evaluation report might turn out to be on par with those other Rank 3 beast appraisers. Maybe its quality would be a little higher, but that was it.

Yet, as he read the report, Ye Yuzhou realized he had underestimated this ‘curator’.

Although the report was only five pages-long, its contents were far richer than any other evaluation report he had ever received.

With details like bloodline heritage and attribute theories, these were enough to tell how profound the report was. There were no flamboyant expressions, just simple and direct information.

Besides this, his pet beast’s current status was also clearly provided.

This included specifics like natural-born flaws and their respective remedies, as well as the status of its injuries complete with treatment methods. Everything was written in precise detail.

What’s more shocking was how it came with an evolution method.

It must be kept in mind that his pet beast was already at Rank 4. Everyone knew that promoting a Rank 4 pet beast to Rank 5 was as difficult as ascending heaven. There were billions and trillions of pet beasts in the world but only a handful of them could reach Rank 5. At least, the master beast appraisers in Jade Dragon City couldn’t give him an answer on how to promote his soaring cloud flood dragon’s rank.

But here in this evaluation report, the curator had given it to him.

And it was comprehensively written. After reading it carefully, Ye Yuzhou realized the theories were relatively grounded so it might just work.

At this thought, despite his steadfast character, Ye Yuzhou could stop his fingers from trembling with excitement.

He once assumed that never in his life would he be able to promote his soaring cloud flood dragon to Rank 5. To him, no, even to the entirety of the Jade Dragon Kingdom, having their pet beast achieve Rank 5 was a hurdle too high.

It was an impossible hurdle to clear.

But now, the curator’s evaluation report gave him a ray of hope.

Although the items required by the evolution method were priceless treasures and difficult to obtain, they were worth nothing compared to a Rank 5 pet beast.

Once his excitement subsided, Ye Yuzhou carefully put the evaluation report away. Then, he remembered his disciple, Yang Jie.

After some thought, Ye Yuzhou asked another question, “Mr. Curator, will you be able to provide evaluation reports on other pet beasts?”

“You can either bring that pet beast here or bring a sample of its fur or blood.” Once Lin Jin was done answering, Ye Yuzhou knew that he wouldn’t be able to get his request fulfilled today. He could only wait until next time when he had taken one of Yang Jie’s white peacock’s feathers to ask the curator again.

Madam Ghost Child also couldn’t resist stepping forward and asking a question, “Mr. Curator, my baby is hurt. Is there a way to treat him?”

“Indeed, there is.” Lin Jin simply answered.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ghost Child fell to her knees at once and begged, “Please teach us the miraculous treatment method.”

Lin Jin lifted his brush and began writing. Halfway through, he pondered briefly before saying, “Ghost Child, treating your baby’s chronic injury isn’t difficult, but you have to promise me one thing.”

Madam Ghost Child quickly replied, “If Mr. Curator can treat my baby, I can promise you anything.”

Lin Jin waved.

“It’s nothing complex. From now on, you have to stop killing. I know that you’re prolonging your pet beast’s life with a secret symbiosis method. Things are okay when he sleeps, but when he wakes up and his blood begins to flow in reverse, you will suffer torturous pain as if thousands of ants are gnawing away at your body. His blood entering your veins can even cause you to lose your sanity and distort your physical appearance, making you thirst for blood. I’ll use a covert method to seal his main acupoint for now. You have to break the symbiosis immediately and stop using this method. Otherwise, in one year at most, both you and your pet beast will succumb to the circumstances. In seven days, gather the materials I will prescribe to you and when the Visitation Hall opens next time, I can rid your pet beast of its illness completely.”
