Liu Xinglong took the ring, opened a door deep in the store and walked in, followed closely by Chen Yao.
"His!"
As soon as Chen Yao entered the room, Liu Xinglong closed the door, took out a piece of blue talisman paper from his arms and tore it into pieces. When the talisman paper tore, a layer of blue film visible to the naked eye wrapped the room.
"This is a short-term isolation talisman. It can effectively prevent prying eyes. One can last for ten minutes. It is best to use it in a closed environment. Such a charm will cost at least ten gold coins."
"..."
Without too much nonsense, Liu Xinglong began to take the ring and look at it carefully.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This workmanship, this material, even if there are no special effects, you can still sell it for a good price."
"Little friend Chenyao, let me ask you, what is the function of this ring?"
"Hmm... One of the effects of increasing the charm of the wearer is that it will have an advantage when negotiating prices, probably."
Chen Yao scratched his head and said uncertainly.
"Haha, since bargaining on price works, have you ever thought that other aspects can also work?"
As Liu Xinglong spoke, he still stared at the ring with burning eyes.
"This...I really haven't tried it."
"Okay, one more question, where did you get this ring? If you don't want to answer, forget it."
"This involves some secrets. I can't say who it comes from, but what I can tell you is that it does not come from the world we live in, but from dreams."
"Dream? It seems that I am ignorant."
Liu Xinglong had some doubts on his face, but he still believed what Chen Yao said.
"Okay, I don't have any more questions. I'll give you the ring back."
After receiving the ring, Chen Yao seemed hesitant to speak.
"I know what you want to ask. Do you want to ask, why am I not affected by the ring?"
"Yes, you are really discerning."
"My little friend is so impressed."
"What I'm going to tell you, don't spread it to anyone else."
Liu Xinglong reminded with a serious expression.
"clear."
"Okay, judging from your appearance, you must not know my name, Liu Xinglong. This is quite a strange thing."
"In Morning Star, I have one hundred and thirty shops like this, so my name should be well-known to every household."
Liu Xinglong first introduced himself somewhat arrogantly, and then looked at Chen Yao with a strange expression.
"Ahem... I don't know now."
"Well, one of my wild skills is called Ming Jian. It can completely identify all the information of an unknown item. It can be used six times in one star and moon. It occasionally fails. Everyone knows about this ability of me."
"However, what is not affected by the effect of your ring relies on another strange skill of mine. This strange skill is called...destruction."
"As for the effect... Haha, it's a secret. No one knows the effect of this ridiculous skill. If you can guess it, I will give you a reward."
As soon as Chen Yao mentioned the reward, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Well, let me think about it. Since it is called exploration, it must be observed first. You also said before that the reason why vendors are allowed to set up stalls is to facilitate your observation. In addition, you have completely observed the process of me using the ring. ..”
"In other words, the effect of your wild skill is that if the approximate effect of an item is calculated by any means, then the effect of the item will not have any impact on you. Old Liu, am I right?"
Chen Yao rubbed his chin and said firmly.
"Pa bang bang..."
"Haha, you are a good boy, I actually let you push it out, although I also gave you a lot of hints."
Lao Liu applauded and laughed.
"However, you are only half right. Well, assuming you answered correctly, your reward is..."
"Wait! What about the other half? What is it?"
"What other half?"
The old man said doubtfully.
Chen Yao was a little crazy at the moment...
"The other half of the effect! Didn't you say you only got half the answer right?!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about! Oh, what if you don't want the reward?"
"I... want it! You old fox..."
After receiving a positive reply, Lao Liu continued with a smile.
"Listen up, your reward is that I promise to give you three opportunities to identify items at my place. Failure in the identification does not count until the identification is successful."
"If you are not satisfied, you can also exchange it at the price of 100 gold-bound coins for one appraisal."
"First of all, let's talk about it. With this money, you may not be able to get an appraisal opportunity? Even if the lord of this area comes, he will have to spend three to five hundred gold to invite me. It also depends on my mood. "
"One...one hundred gold-binding coins at a time? That's three hundred gold-binding coins! How much does that cost?!"
"Well, Lao Liu, let's discuss it! Can I only exchange it once?"
"Haha, what do you think?"
Chen Yao has really never seen so much money, except that time he witnessed Mr. Jing's ceremony in the dream world, and he accidentally glanced at Mr. Jing's treasure house, so he is a little hard to make a decision now...
"Have you considered it?"
"Then, let's choose three appraisal opportunities..."
"Wise choice. There is no time limit for these three opportunities I promised you, but I have to agree first that you must find me first."
Hearing these words, Chen Yao felt bad...
"What do you mean?"
"As for me, I will only stay in any one of the 131 stores for three days every Xingyue. The rest of the time I will travel within the sphere of influence of Chenxing. If you find me, I will give you an appraisal."
"And...I don't appraise ordinary things, right?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Liu Xinglong's eyes.
"Hey! You old profiteer!"
"Haha, thank you for your compliment."
In this case, doesn’t it mean there is nothing? Who knows when I will meet him?
No, something must be done...
Chen Yao inspected the items in the binding ring, wanting to see if there was anything he could hand over to Lao Liu for appraisal right away.
Bell? I already know how to use this, but it doesn’t work.
Tianji box? No, no one else can know this...
Gemstone necklace? It seems like just an ordinary item...
Got it! this.
Chen Yao rummaged around and finally found an old piece of paper in the binding ring.
"Old Liu, is there any problem with the identification now?"
"Of course, as long as it's not trash."
"Here, please identify this, please."
Chen Yao handed over the strange paper that felt slightly moist.
"Let me take a look. Hiss... this texture, is it leather? The quality is fine, it should be something of some age. The characters on it, um... are a bit like ancient Kruwen, but these characters cannot form a smooth The sentence is really weird."
"Little friend Chenyao, are you sure you want to identify this?"
"Sure."
"Okay, then just take a look!"
Liu Xinglong took a deep breath, spread out his hand, and placed the old paper on it. The other palm suddenly lit up with a burst of soft white light, and then slowly brushed the old paper.
"Chichichi! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
A strange sound came from the side, and Chen Yao followed the sound. All the books on the bookshelf beside him slowly pulled out on their own, and then fell to the ground in a mess!
Immediately afterwards, the books on the ground moved closer to Liu Xinglong in a uniform manner...
Not long after, all the books were piled up into a chaotic hill directly under Liu Xinglong's palm. The scene at this moment was a little strange...
"Another vision... Alas!"
"What is going on? What is the vision?"
"This is related to my wild skills. Generally speaking, after an item is appraised by me, there will be two results. Success or failure. However, there are exceptions to everything."
"Among the thousands of items I have appraised in my life, there are only a few like this, but they are all real rare treasures, but you..."
Liu Xinglong frowned and glanced at the old paper in his hand.
"So, let's forget it now?"
"Successful, but not entirely successful..."
"If a vision occurs, it means that several identifications and vision analysis are required, and I will be asked to observe the first vision."
Liu Xinglong squatted down, circled the stack of books and began to observe.
"The books fell off the bookshelf and gathered at the bottom of this page. In addition, there are signs of tears on the edges of this page...then it must be from a page of a very powerful book."
"In addition, these books are stacked according to year from low to high, then this book must be very...very old."
"Okay, let's start the second appraisal."
Liu Xinglong stood up and repeated the previous identification action.
"Tick tock...tick tock..."
Following the sound, the water in the water glass on the table flowed to the table in an unnatural way, and then dripped to the floor.
At the same time, water began to seep from various places such as corners and ceilings of rooms.
After a while, all the water sources began to gather into a ball, and then the water source, which squirmed irregularly from time to time, seemed to be alive, climbed up to the top of the pile of books and stopped steadily.
Liu Xinglong tried to move the palm on which the paper was placed, and the strange water mass also moved with the small tilt...
Chen Yao on the side did not make a sound during the whole process, but his back felt slightly chilly after witnessing such a strange scene at such a close distance.
"This second vision is also very simple to interpret. It is nothing more than that there is a strong correlation between this object and water."
"Then, except that it may come from a powerful and ancient water-based technique, I can't think of any other possibility."
Liu Xinglong paced back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, and then gave such a result.
"Eh...is it my imagination? Why does it feel more...moist than before?"
"Maybe it's your imagination."
Chen Yao answered quickly without thinking.
"Yes, the older the object, the more unique it is."
"Does a third appraisal still need to be conducted?"
After looking at the paper in his hand in confusion, Liu Xinglong turned around and asked.
"Well... we have some clues about the source, but is the identification completed now?"
"To be precise, not really."
"The vision has not dissipated, which means that the identification has not been completed. If left unchecked, there may be unexpected consequences..."
"This special identification process is similar to a ritual. If a certain part of the ritual goes wrong or is forcibly terminated, it may fail at best, or... be unpredictable at worst."
Liu Xinglong looked serious.
"Okay, let's continue."
"Wait! Speaking of which...Old Liu, have you ever encountered danger during the historical appraisal process before?"
To be honest, Chen Yao is a little worried now, after all, the previous two visions were too weird.
"Of course, the abnormality that appears during the appraisal is not just a phenomenon that needs to be interpreted, but it may also be a certain function of this item."
"Haha, when I was appraising an ancient weapon, I almost lost my life and lost a shop."
"Okay...but now we can only continue the identification."
Chen Yao glanced at the water mass that was still squirming. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the water mass was squirming faster.
"Okay, please step back."
Liu Xinglong took a few steps back, leaving a distance of about three meters between him and the vision. Chen Yao also took a step back.
After making sure that the two of them were at a safe distance, Liu Xinglong calmed down, touched the paper with his palm, and then stared closely at the water mass in front of him...
"Stop..."
As soon as Liu Xinglong finished his action, the squirming water mass suddenly stopped, then exploded and dispersed, and then gathered into a large pool of water at the bottom of the stack of books.
The scattered water slowly approached Liu Xinglong, and finally stopped flowing at his feet and gathered into a water ball again.
Seeing the water mass becoming still, the two of them were about to get closer to check...
