Treasure Appraisers.
They were a special profession on the continent.
Like Alchemists and Blacksmiths, they were all considered special professions.
Although they were not as valuable as Alchemists or Blacksmiths, they were still exceedingly remarkable.
Such people possessed an exceptionally sharp eye, often able to spot the most valuable item at a glance amid a pile of inconspicuous junk.
When venturing outside to explore, seek treasure, and search for opportunities, Treasure Appraisers held an innate advantage.
A Seventh-level Appraiser was still some distance from a top-tier Treasure Appraiser, but in the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities, they were absolutely exceedingly rare. In fact, Lin Shu only knew of Su Qian before him.
If anyone came to Langya Auction House in the future to consign an item, she could handle the negotiations. After all, she was a Treasure Appraiser and could determine the value of treasures.
If a consigned item was ordinary, there would be no need to bring it here for auction. It could simply be sent to a branch instead; there was no need to waste his time.
Suddenly.
Lin Shu thought of something and took out an item.
"Since you are a Seventh-level Appraiser, I happen to have an auction item that will soon be put up for sale. Take a look."
Su Qian looked at the item in Lin Shu's hand.
At a glance, she could tell that it was a medicinal pill.
However, upon inspecting it more closely, she was startled.
"This is a medicinal pill, but it contains an astonishing amount of Soul Power!"
"Judging from it, it seems to be a third-grade pill, yet the Soul Power it contains far exceeds that of a third-grade pill!"
"This pill is truly strange. In my opinion, it can be classified as a fifth-grade pill!"
After hearing this, Lin Shu nodded approvingly.
"As expected of a Seventh-level Appraiser. You do have some insight!"
"That's right. From its appearance, this pill has only three pill patterns and is classified as third grade!"
"Yet its true effects far surpass those of a third-grade pill!"
"This pill is called the Level 3 Soul Power Pill. After a Soul Elder between level thirty and level forty consumes it, they can raise their Soul Power by three levels. Of course, they can only reach a maximum of level thirty-nine Soul Power!"
As soon as those words fell.
Su Qian was stunned as well.
On the continent, medicinal pills were divided into cultivation pills and auxiliary pills with various other effects.
The most common cultivation pills were those that increased the absorption of Soul Power.
There was also a type of cultivation pill that was exceedingly astonishing, capable of directly increasing one's Soul Power after being consumed.
However, most of them only increased one's Soul Power by a certain number of days or a certain number of layers.
In the eyes of Alchemists, one major realm consisted of nine Soul Power levels, which were divided into ninety layers.
A pill that could raise one layer of Soul Power was already extremely good. One that could raise ten layers was already a supreme-grade pill among medicinal pills.
Yet this pill directly raised Soul Power by three levels. According to the division of ninety layers per major realm used by Alchemists, that meant it directly raised thirty layers of Soul Power.
Its effects were even better than those of supreme-grade cultivation pills, by a factor of three.
Its effect may have been three times greater, but what it increased could not be summed up by a simple number.
After all, for a Soul Master, three levels of Soul Power could take several years at most and no less than half a year at the very least.
Although this pill was restricted to Soul Elders between level thirty and level forty, making it merely third grade according to its realm restriction, based on how extraordinary it was, even ordinary seventh- or Eighth Grade pills might not be as rare.
If used properly, it could allow a prodigy to enter the Soul Ancestor realm earlier. One step ahead meant every step ahead.
She could imagine the fervor of those young geniuses once this pill appeared.
It directly raised Soul Power by three levels!
Su Qian was deeply shaken inside.
As a Treasure Appraiser, she had assessed many treasures.
But this was the first time she had seen such a precious medicinal pill.
Even eighth- or ninth-grade Alchemists likely could not refine such a pill. It had already gone beyond all reason.
If every realm had such pills, what would be the point of cultivating? Wouldn't one be able to take pills all the way to become a Title Douluo?
"Alright, go down for now. There are only two days left until the auction begins. Since you are the Chief Auctioneer, you will preside over this auction!"
Seeing Su Qian's stunned expression, Lin Shu waved his hand and dismissed her.
Su Qian seemed to have been thoroughly shocked by the pill. Still unwilling to let it go, she asked.
"Guild Master, since I am the auctioneer, shouldn't I learn about the auction items in advance so that the auction can proceed smoothly? Otherwise, when the auction begins, it will be difficult for me to introduce them."
Lin Shu shook his head.
"Don't worry. Before the auction begins, I will tell you everything about the auction items. I believe a Seventh-grade Appraiser has at least that much memory."
Since Lin Shu had said so, Su Qian naturally said no more.
Yet her heart was itching with curiosity. She desperately wanted to know what other supreme auction items there would be.
Since childhood, she had been extremely passionate about all kinds of treasures. Therefore, despite possessing outstanding cultivation talent, she had neglected cultivation and chosen to become a Treasure Appraiser.
As a result, at the age of twenty, she had only just surpassed level one hundred sixty Soul Power.
One had to know that her talent was no weaker than her sister's.
When her sister was twenty, she had already possessed more than seventy levels of Soul Power. Just past the age of thirty, she had directly reached the level of a ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
Time slowly passed.
The matter of Langya Auction House crippling all eight members of Langya Hall quickly spread.
Among them was even a Title Douluo.
Once this news spread, more and more people became interested in Langya Auction House.
They continuously rushed toward Langya City from the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities.
The news even spread beyond the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities and throughout the Eastern Martial Region, drawing the interest of some of its powerful experts.
That was Langya Hall, one of the continent's Lower Seven Sects. In the Eastern Martial Region, it was an absolutely supreme overlord.
Yet people from such a force had been crippled by an Auction House. Naturally, they wanted to see what confidence Langya Auction House possessed.
Since it dared to cripple people from Langya Hall, what kind of treasures would its auction items be?
In the blink of an eye.
Two days quietly passed.
The auction at Langya Auction House was finally about to begin.
People from the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities and even the Eastern Martial Region poured into the auction venue.
At the main auction venue of Langya Auction House, there were thirty VIP private rooms in total. Only Title Douluos or forces backed by Title Douluos could enter those VIP private rooms.
Yet those VIP private rooms quickly filled up.
As for the main hall, it had more than twenty thousand seats, and it too was now packed to the brim.
Many people could only stand in order to attend the auction and witness it for themselves.
Just then.
Thirty figures quietly appeared in the auction venue.
The previously rather noisy auction venue suddenly fell silent.
