The steward was the last one to come in and announced loudly: "Please get ready, everyone. In a few minutes, I, the strongest treasure appraiser of Wanzhen Pavilion, Master Hongyuan, will come to start the assessment."
"In just a few minutes, I'll be here."
An old man with white beard and hair walked over.
It is Li Hongyuan, the treasure appraiser who is well-known in Qinglong City. He is the chief treasure appraiser of Wanzhen Pavilion. If the Nineteenth Princess hadn't arrived this time, he wouldn't even bother to come for the assessment.
The entire Tianyuan world.
There are five levels of treasure appraisers, namely treasure appraiser apprentice, treasure appraiser, treasure appraiser master, treasure appraiser king, and treasure appraiser saint.
There are only a few treasure appreciating kings in an ancient country, and most of them are recruited from the royal family and palace.
The master treasure appraiser is already considered to be the top in the treasure appraisal industry. His status is extremely high and he is even more respected than the King of Heaven.
When they saw Li Hongyuan, everyone immediately became quiet and their eyes were full of admiration. Even the eyes of the Nineteenth Princess were full of respect.
"Let's start the assessment. The rules are very simple. Within an hour, you can find up to ten treasures. You are not allowed to whisper and discuss with each other. After you find them, you can come to me to unblock them and evaluate their value."
Li Hongyuan looked serious and glanced at everyone.
"good."
Everyone nodded and began to hunt for treasures. Everyone was extremely cautious, choosing left and right.
Only Lin Yu.
He went straight to the first floor and picked out a colorful and shining glass lamp. This lamp was very beautiful, shining with colorful light, and it didn't look like an ordinary thing at first glance.
But the light is not bright enough, as if it is damaged internally, giving people the feeling of a defective product.
The price of any item on the first level is 10,000. Once selected, the second item cannot be selected.
But Lin Yu didn't hesitate at all and chose it directly.
"Haha, is this old man just messing around? Within a minute of starting the assessment, he selected the treasure, and spent 10,000 gold coins on one item."
"Old man, is this what you call a sacred object? You are very discerning."
The crowd burst into laughter, their words and eyes full of mockery.
Even the 19th princess who had praised Lin Yu before frowned, feeling that the old man was really stupid and didn't know how to identify treasures at all.
How can you be so reckless and just choose something fancy when you see it?
You must know that in the treasure appraising business, the more flashy and beautiful something looks, the lower the value, and the more fakes there are. Price is never the only criterion for measuring treasures.
"Please identify."
Lin Yu walked up to Li Hongyuan with a colorful glass lamp.
"Next time you try your luck, get out of the assessment hall. Treasure appraiser is a very sacred profession, and it is not for people like you to get involved."
Li Hongyuan was very angry.
He is a staid and traditional man.
He didn't expect that there would be such an arrogant person under his nose. He chose the item without even looking at it. It was simply unreasonable to despise the assessment of the treasure appraiser apprentice.
Lin Yu was stunned.
He just wanted to highlight his super treasure appraisal ability, what did he do wrong? !
"Old man, there's no need for Master Hongyuan to appraise it. This thing of yours is so beautiful, it's simply stunning. It's a fake at first glance. Don't humiliate yourself. Just hold it and get out of the Treasure Hunting Hall."
"No wonder you are still in your seventies and eighties, and you are still taking the apprenticeship of treasure appraisal. It turns out that you are just a half-hearted person and don't understand anything."
"You are so stupid and terrible. Don't you know the first common sense of treasure hunting, that is, the more exquisite the thing, the harder it is to choose?"
Everyone sneered and looked down upon Lin Yu. Some even told him to stop appraising.
"Alas, geniuses are always lonely. I don't blame you for your ignorance."
Lin Yu sighed and shook his head.
"Ni Ma, you can show off like this, but you old man is really shameless."
"Haha, you really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. I'll look at it and the results will come out. It's only worth one copper coin. Where can you put your old face?"
Everyone laughed even more cheerfully.
"I'll let you see with your own eyes what kind of rubbish you chose, and then get out of here right away!"
Li Hongyuan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, his face flushed. He grabbed the colorful glass lamp and began to undo the rune seals on it.
Many people stopped looking for treasures and looked here with amusement. Even the Nineteenth Princess was attracted and stared straight at it.
Li Hongyuan breathed heavily and used his true energy to draw strange traces. Small rays of light flashed through, and only a click was heard, and the sealing rune was broken.
The light of the colorful glass lamp was extinguished instantly and turned into a mortal object.
"Look, this is the garbage you chose. I used my true energy to push it, but there was no movement at all. It's not even worth a copper coin!"
Li Hongyuan roared and threw the colorful glazed lamp at Lin Yu.
"As expected, this colorful glazed lamp is a waste product, and this old man's eyes are basically blind."
"Haha, this is the so-called expert in identifying goods. He found a piece of rubbish."
"Old man, I advise you not to take the treasure appraiser apprentice exam in the future. It's a waste of money. It's better not to go treasure hunting. It's too stupid."
It was rare to meet a treasure appraiser who was such an expert, so everyone couldn't help but laugh at him.
"Stupid and unaware!"
Princess Nineteen shook her head, gave this evaluation, and then began to hunt for treasures on her own.
"As a treasure appraiser, you are very unqualified."
Lin Yu glanced at Li Hongyuan lightly.
Hearing this, Li Hongyuan was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he was about to teach Lin Yu a lesson.
He is the chief of Wanzhen Pavilion and is famous in Qinglong City and even in the whole of Daxia. However, it is unbearable to be humiliated by a stupid old man.
"Don't rush to do it, I'll teach you."
Lin Yu raised the colorful glass lamp and said slowly: "You unlocked the rune seal and used your true energy to identify it. If there is no abnormality, you conclude that it is worthless. This kind of understanding is really one-sided!
First of all, if it is a sacred weapon and you don’t know how to operate it (actually it is equivalent to the password of the earth, it must be unlocked before it can be used), and it is difficult to activate it with infuriating energy. This is normal.
Secondly, the runes you unlocked were only sealed by the rune master of Wanzhen Pavilion. How can you conclude that there are no other seals on this colorful glazed lamp? "
After hearing this statement, Princess Nineteen's eyes lit up, and many people looked over again out of curiosity.
This old man seems unreliable, but he always talks the same thing.
"Hmph, I still want to argue. If your seven-colored glass lamp is worth more than ten gold coins today, I will immediately worship you as my teacher; otherwise, you will get out of the Treasure Hunting Hall and never step forward again."
Li Hongyuan felt that his authority had been insulted, looked extremely angry, and put forward conditions.
Hear this.
Everyone was stunned, even the group of staff and stewards who were invigilating the exam were shocked and speechless.
"I'm just discussing the matter, do you want to make such a bet?"
Lin Yu was speechless, feeling that the old man was so angry.
Li Hongyuan said coldly: "If you don't dare, get out of here before I get angry."
"Okay, you forced me to do this. It's not a bad idea to accept a master treasure appraiser as my apprentice."
Lin Yu wanted to show this group of people who is the real treasure appraiser.
