Chapter 75 Chief Appraiser
Chapter 75 Chief Appraiser
The three of them chatted until dark, and when they saw that all the stalls on the street had been closed, they parted ways with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
The two stall owners thought that Lin Shan came from an extraordinary background. Even if he was not a disciple of one of the three top sects in the Song Dynasty's immortal cultivation world, his sect should be quite powerful, so they were willing to make friends with him.
Before leaving, they left each other notes and addresses.
The place Lin Shan chose to leave his message was the public mailbox in Yichuan Market. If someone sent him a message, as long as he lived in Yichuan, the market would send someone to deliver it to his cave.
The other two people who left messages were from the Murong family and the Tan Tai family, both of which were well-known cultivation families.
As for today's main task of setting up a stall, it can only be considered barely completed.
During the trip, two casual cultivators liked the things on Lin Shan's stall and bought the equipment refining package and the beast taming package for 25 and 30 spirit stones respectively. Lin Shan didn't haggle too much, after all, he didn't have that much time to waste on setting up a stall.
As long as you collect a hundred spirit stones, you can buy the barrier-breaking pill for the initial stage of Qi training.
Lin Shan took advantage of the fact that it was just getting dark and the shops were still open, and went to the store area to buy the low-level pill. He was left penniless once again.
"If I don't receive any spiritual stones in the next few days, I'm afraid I'll be driven out of Yichuan by law enforcement officers after the cave lease expires."
Lin Shan returned to the cave and impatiently took out the barrier-breaking pill for the initial stage of Qi training.
The late stage of Qi training, tonight.
"strengthen!"
The light of the pill in his hand changed for a while.
【Spirit Condensing Pill】
Quality: Jade Dan
Introduction: Ningyucao is the main medicine, which is refined with twelve auxiliary medicines. It can help break through the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi training.
Enhancement required: 16 points
……
"Acquired elixirs, innate elixirs, jade elixirs for the Qi training period, treasure elixirs for the foundation building period, and magic elixirs for the golden elixir period. The strengthening panel can indeed correspond to the level of the cultivation world one by one."
Lin Shan didn't think any more about it. He took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, then began his mission to break through the barrier.
……
The next day, the young man in white walked on the street, feeling refreshed, enjoying the morning breeze and humming a little tune.
Now that he is in the late stage of Qi training, the goals of this trip to Yichuan have basically been achieved. It is no big deal even if he is driven out of Yichuan now.
After returning to the capital Bianliang to harvest a wave of ancient charm, you can go to the edge of some wild mountains to hunt monsters and look for exotic flowers and plants. You can always earn spirit stones and you can still come back when the time comes.
After all, this world is extremely vast. There are two wild mountain ranges in the Song Dynasty alone, namely the Busong Mountains in the central part and the Yanyun Mountains in the north.
Now that he has reached the late stage of Qi training, he can barely get a chance to try. As for the Great Yan Dynasty across the Yanyun Mountains in the north, Lin Shan has no plans to go abroad for the time being.
However, as he was walking and passing by a square on the corner of the street, he suddenly saw a building next to the square with six big words emblazoned on it.
"Auction Consignment Office".
There is also a countdown next to it: 2 days.
Lin Shan instantly recalled the conversation between the two stall owners from the cultivation family yesterday. His cultivation level had just reached the standard, and there happened to be something in his storage bag.
He rolled his eyes and took two steps at a time to walk over.
……
When I entered the auction house's commission office, it seemed that it had just opened early in the morning. There was only an old appraiser lying on a rattan chair behind the counter, reading an ancient book with great interest.
Hearing the footsteps, the old appraiser did not look up. After all, the big customers had placed their orders long in advance, and those who came now were just some second-rate independent cultivators, and many of their treasures were not even qualified to enter the auction.
Lin Shan came to the counter and said carefully that he also had treasures to auction, then took out the core of the purple spirit fruit. After all, he was not sure about this.
But what was unexpected was that the appraiser glanced at the old man and said "eh" softly, but without too much surprise.
Instead, he slowly sat up, took out a "tweezers"-like detection tool from somewhere, and began to fiddle with the fruit core. Lin Shan secretly thought that since he had a reinforced panel, he could be an appraiser!
Moreover, his own enhanced panel can even identify hidden souls, Buddhas in the fairy world, and the Seven Arrows Book of Fairy Arts.
Isn't he the number one appraiser in the world of immortal cultivation?
This was an idea he had before coming to Yichuan. Now that he had brought it up again, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a way to make money!
However, I also need to get some kind of detection device to disguise myself, otherwise it seems easy to be exposed?
Not to mention Lin Shan's wild thoughts, the old appraiser of the auction house was quite professional and gave an accurate conclusion after half a quarter of an hour.
"The mutant core of the two hundred year old water spirit fruit!"
Lin Shan secretly sighed at the professionalism and quickly praised: "Senior, you have a keen eye. This is indeed the core of the Purple Spirit Fruit."
The old appraiser put away his tweezer-like magic weapon and asked him indirectly about the origin of the fruit core. This is also a necessary procedure of the auction house. If the item is innocent, of course they will help you auction it. If it is a murder and robbery, it depends on whether the other party has a strong enough background!
If the auction house can handle it, it would be fine. If not, then please go to the black market and trade on your own. After all, businessmen seek profit and avoid harm.
Lin Shan lied without thinking: "My ancestors were also a family of immortal cultivators. They cultivated water spirit fruit plants for generations. One of them mutated into a purple spirit fruit. This fruit core was passed down from generation to generation."
The old appraiser nodded and said, "This fruit core is currently in good vitality, as if it has just blossomed and borne fruit, and it seems to have been mature for less than half a year. It seems that your family did a good job of protecting it in the past, and was able to seal its vitality."
Lin Shan was secretly ashamed. He had indeed just eaten the purple spirit fruit within half a year when he came from Dongting Lake to Yichuan. This fruit core was indeed something that had been left over within the past six months. He almost got exposed. This old man was so fucking professional!
He immediately agreed and kept flattering the old man, hoping that he would set a higher price for himself.
The old appraiser pondered for a moment and said, "The water-attributed mutant red fruit is not particularly rare, but it can leave mutant seeds after mutation, which makes it somewhat valuable. For the sect family, it is considered a long-term development spiritual plant, so the base price is 700 spirit stones."
Lin Shan was overjoyed and immediately bowed his head and expressed his gratitude profusely.
This old appraiser is highly respected and his cultivation level seems to be at the Foundation Establishment stage or above. He is obviously too lazy to cheat a junior like Lin Shan.
After completing the registration, Lin Shan was given an auction house token.
This token can be used to participate in the auction two days later, and it also serves as proof of identity.
After completing the formalities, Lin Shan took the opportunity to ask the old man about the salary and benefits of the appraiser industry, whether there is a cave rental subsidy, unemployment insurance in Yichuanfang City, etc.
The old man gradually guessed what the boy was thinking: "You want to be an appraiser?"
Lin Shan: “Yeah~”
"Have you had any professional training?"
Lin Shan: "That's right! My ancestral family of cultivators has produced appraisers for generations!"
"Can you show me your detection device?"
Lin Shan: "Uh, I forgot to bring it, but I can guess blindly without using any magic weapon."
……
After a while, the old appraiser took out a few brocade boxes and placed them in front of the counter. "These are all items that failed to be sold at the auction house in the past few years. I'll give them to you to practice."
Lin Shan took them out one by one and pretended to touch and look at them.
"Five hundred year old Earth Tongue Orchid, high-level magical instrument Flowing Cloud Banner, fragments of a fire attribute magical instrument, this one seems to be a feather shed by a demon beast in the Foundation Establishment Stage"
Lin Shan deliberately reported one wrong half-truthfully, and accurately stated the origins and functions of the others.
But this has already surprised the old man in front of him, and then he slapped his thigh!
"Good boy! You have such a sharp vision without any detection tools! You are really a talented person!"
Lin Shan was overjoyed: "Then I'll start work tomorrow?"
"But the appraiser position is full, there is no vacancy, so I can't arrange for you."
Lin Shan quickly cupped his hands and said, "It's okay. I can be an apprentice and do odd jobs. As long as I have food and accommodation, that's fine!"
"No! What I mean is that I will be transferred from Yichuan to Yinchuan Market in five days."
The old man smiled and said, "And you will take over from me and become the chief appraiser of Yichuan Auction House!"
"?!!!"
