Lin Jin noticed that among the ten appraisers of the four rings, the one sitting in the center was very imposing. He looked very old, but his eyes were sharp.
This old man is not simple.
For a moment, Lin Jin thought of a person.
Zhong Zifeng!
In the Tianxuan kingdom, there is one of the best four-ring beast appraisers. Someone has long said that with Mr. Zhong's ability, he can be promoted to five-ring appraisers.
But this Mr. Zhong did not do so.
He once said a famous saying: Only those who can reach the sixth level can have the qualifications of the fifth ring.
To put it simply, that is, only if he successfully promoted a fifth-level beast pet to the sixth level, then he would be willing to be promoted to the five-ring appraiser.
It's a pity that this Mr. Zhong has never waited for this opportunity. Even though his works have become the treasures of beast masters, even if he has many theories of beast appraisal handed down from generation to generation, if he fails to promote a beast pet to the sixth rank, then it will be difficult for him. In his view, everything is a bubble.
Lin Jin very much recognized Mr. Zhong's stubbornness and persistence, but also, in Lin Jin's heart, this Mr. Zhong's ability was enough to be called a five-ring appraiser.
Not surprisingly, the old man in front of him should be Zhong Zifeng. This is not Lin Jin's blind guess, but he has heard that Mr. Zhong has a unique magical method called "seal hand".
At this moment, I can see the word 'seal' vaguely written on the old gentleman's left hand.
This is the sign.
So Lin Jin felt that his guess was almost inseparable.
Thinking of this, Lin Jin decided to be smart, and saluted the old gentleman again: "I met Mr. Zhong!"
The latter smiled, but did not deny it.
"Lin Jianshi, you have excellent vision!"
It was actually a compliment.
The tone is approachable and approachable, without any pretensions.
Obviously, this test should be dominated by Mr. Zhong. With his status, no one else would dare to snatch it.
At this moment, Lin Jin remembered that Tan Lin seemed to have joined Zhong Zifeng's sect yesterday.
"Lin Jianshi, you have passed the previous two tests. According to the rules of our Apprentice Association, passing this third test can meet the standards of the four-ring appraiser."
Zhong Zifeng said at this time, when it comes to business, this old gentleman is still very serious.
Lin Jin listened carefully, but he heard a problem from these words.
Passing this third test can reach the standard of the Four Rings appraiser.
Just standard
It didn't say that he could get the approval of Sihuan appraiser.
These two may sound like there is no difference, but in fact, the difference is still very big.
However, Lin Jin didn't ask immediately. After all, the key is to pass the third test. Just seeing that there are ten Sihuan appraisers here, we know that the third test is the real key.
The previous two items can only be said to be appetizers, and they are not on the table at all.
"According to tradition, our ten appraisers will each ask you a question, and you will answer it. After all ten questions have been asked, we will vote with a show of hands. As long as more than half of the four-ring appraisers approve of you, you can Pass this third test."
After Zhong Zifeng finished speaking, Lin Jin couldn't help asking this time.
Because there are also big problems in this rule, because the other party doesn't say that if you answer a few of the ten questions correctly, you can pass. They didn't say how well you answered the questions, they just said whether more than half of the Sihuan appraisers approve.
In other words, even if the answer is wrong, as long as people recognize you, it's okay
Lin Jin asked directly, and Zhong Zifeng smiled: "Yes, this is also because in the past, very few people could answer more than half of the questions correctly, so the rules were revised."
Lin Jin was stunned.
"Now that you understand the rules, let's start, Mr. Zhong, I'll be the first to ask questions." A Sihuan appraiser over there said.
This Sihuan appraiser is slightly fat, and he also smiles when he speaks.
Zhong Zifeng introduced: "Master Lin, this is Master Ouyang!"
Lin Jin saluted.
Master Ouyang waved his hand, and said directly: "I'll test your basics of beast appraisal. In this way, you can recite the ten methods of beast appraisal to me from beginning to end."
As soon as the words came out, an appraiser next to him whispered to the people beside him: "As expected, Ouyang appraiser still played cards out of common sense. The ten methods of appraising animals are the most basic knowledge, but few people can recite them. There are thousands of words in it, and because it is too basic, most of them have been separated for a long time, and most people can't remember it at all."
An appraiser next to him also nodded approvingly.
Indeed, Ouyang Jianshi's question is very biased. If the foundation is not solid, the first question may be overturned.
"This person may not be able to memorize it. It depends on Master Ouyang's mood. If he is in a good mood, even if he can't recite it, he will be recognized at that time. On the other hand, it's his bad luck."
Lin Jin over there was also taken aback when he heard this question, but he didn't think much about it, and immediately began to recite.
"One way to learn from beasts, birds in the sky, beasts in the ground, yin to yang, five elements, tigers touch bones, cranes look at feathers, antlers age, turtles break their armor..."
Lin Jin began to recite, he remembered the ten methods of appraising beasts very clearly, even if he recited them word for word, it would not be a big problem.
What's more, even if you can't memorize it, there is a corresponding template in the Museum of Beasts, but Lin Jin feels that he probably won't be able to use this method.
The thousands of words of the Ten Methods of Appreciating Beasts did not get stuck at all, and they were memorized smoothly from beginning to end.
After reciting it, the fat appraiser Ouyang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, in my opinion, what the appraiser will learn in the future is too extensive, and it is difficult to explore it all in this life, but no matter how high the realm is, you must not forget the basics." , Lin Jianshi can memorize it so fluently, it is very good."
It is indeed very good.
Because among the ten Sihuan appraisers present, not all of them could memorize this enlightenment-level ten methods of appraising beasts verbatim.
This first question, even if it is completed.
And looking at Master Ouyang's appearance, he didn't look displeased.
This is a good start.
"Let me ask the second question." Yan Jianshi also said over there.
Appraiser Yan was one of the two appraisers in the first level, and the questions he asked were also related to the previous test.
"To deter ferocious beasts, there are generally two methods. One is to suppress beasts, which is suppressed by contacting ferocious beasts, and the other is blood coercion, which is to use the power of beast pets to suppress other ferocious beasts. I want to ask, Lin Jian How did the master manage to suppress the mad cow from the air before?"
This question is not so much a question as a question.
The Sihuan appraisers present also looked over, and some of them were curious about this detail for the first time.
Lin Jin was taken aback.
It's not easy to answer this question. He used the coercive power of the beast, which is a kind of ability in the beast museum, and it can naturally be released from the air.
But what about this
Lin tried his best to telegraph, and finally thought of a way.
"Master Yan Jian, to achieve suppression from a distance, you need a medium."
Lin Jin answered in this way.
Yan Jianshi shook his head: "I know this, but at that time, Lin Jianshi, you didn't use talisman seals, and you didn't see any other medium."
"have!"
Lin Jin snapped his fingers at this moment, and in an instant, a silver needle pierced the pillar over there with a snap.
