Myriad Treasures Tower is the most conspicuous building in the most prosperous area of Flowing Cloud City.
Five stories high, with a Dark Iron skeleton and a spiritual crystal outer wall, it looks like a night pearl falling in the middle of the city from a distance. For individual transactions on the first floor, VIP qualifications are required for those above the second floor. From the third floor up, ordinary people may not be qualified to step in in this life.
Lin Feng The news of their arrival in the city spread faster than people can run.
The guard leader had already said hello - "A noble man with extremely generous spending has come to the city, holding a mine core like the one used to deliver messages."
So as soon as the three of them arrived at the door of Myriad Treasures Tower, the welcome guests came out with bright smiles and bent waists.
"Dear guests, are you buying, selling, or appraising?"
"Appraisal and selling by the way." Lin Feng said.
"Please move to the second floor! Our top appraisers will be at your service immediately!"
The VIP appraisal room on the second floor is decorated in a simple way, with a faint Spiritual Qi floating in the air, making people feel refreshed.
Opposite the appraisal desk, there is already an old man waiting.
This man has white hair and beard, has a slim build, and is dressed very neatly in a white-washed green robe. His name is Cang Xuan, the first appraiser of Myriad Treasures Tower. He has lived for thirteen thousand years. It is said that he has seen all kinds of rare and exotic treasures, and is indifferent to emotions and anger. He is famous for his calmness.
"Guys, please take a seat." Cang Xuan raised his hands and said in a calm tone, "I Cang Xuan, if you have any treasures, feel free to take them out."
Lin Feng sat down at the main seat, and Old Wang and Blood Scorpion took their seats on both sides.
Lin Feng put the bundle on the table, untied it, and shook it out.
"Wow!"
A table of things was spread out.
There are more than a dozen pieces, large and small, in different shapes. Some look like incomplete castings, some look like semi-finished small signs, some are pieces of metal with strange corners... None of them are complete and beautiful, and there are traces of slag on the surface. At first glance, they are things that were discarded during the manufacturing process.
Cang Xuan looked at the goods on the table without any change in his expression. He put on the magnifying glass and picked up the top item - a red casting about the size of a palm, with a few simple lines engraved on it.
"The material of this object..."
Cang Xuan's voice stopped.
He brought the spiritual mirror closer and looked at it carefully for three seconds, then put down the spiritual mirror, replaced it with the precision spiritual detector, and tested it again.
Then he put down the spiritual instrument, raised his head, and spoke in a calmer and more measured tone than before:
"Dear guest, may I ask where this thing comes from?"
"I made it myself." Lin Feng said truthfully, "It's useless after refining it. Let's see if I can sell it for some scrap metal money."
Cang Xuan slowly put down the casting, folded his hands on the table, and asked extremely seriously:
"By refining, you mean... it doesn't meet your expected standards?"
"Yes, not to the level of Acquired Spiritual Treasure, slag."
Cang Xuan was silent for about five seconds.
Then I picked up the second one.
There was silence for another five seconds.
Pick up the third piece, the fourth piece...
When it came to the sixth piece, Cang Xuan held a small metal plaque that looked the tattered in his hand and held the spiritual detector close to it. When the data popped out, his fingers tightened slightly.
Lin Feng was eating the spiritual fruit Old Wang bought from downstairs, waiting boredly, glanced at Cang Xuan's expression, and asked casually:
"What's wrong? Is the quality so bad that I can't collect it? It doesn't matter. I'll just throw it away if I can't collect it."
"No--"
Cang Xuan raised his head and said this word very forcefully.
He put down the sixth item, took a deep breath, put all the spiritual instruments and magnifying mirrors aside, and with an extremely solemn gesture, held up the first item on the table with both hands, and looked at it carefully from all angles under the light of the spiritual crystal lamp.
Then let it go.
He closed his eyes and was silent for a full minute.
When he opened his eyes again, Cang Xuan turned to Lin Feng, with a tremor in his voice that was extremely rare in his thirteen thousand years of appraisal career:
"I have been engaged in appraisal for thirteen thousand years. Today, I really... opened my eyes."
"Your guest just said that these are refining waste products. Then..." He paused, "Your guest said that these embryonic devices that did not meet your standards and were voluntarily abandoned by you are, in your definition, defective products below the Acquired Spiritual Treasure level."
"Yes."
Cang Xuan was silent for another moment.
Then, he leaned over and picked up one of the items, turned the data of the spiritual detector to Lin Feng, and let him see it for himself.
On the data screen, a few lines of words clearly displayed:
[Material: Contains Primordial World Ancient Resonance mineral, purity 98%]
[Integrity of the embryo: 67% (refining not yet completed)]
[Artifact Level: Ancient Artifact·High-Grade Divine Artifact Predecessor (If the refining is completed, it is expected to reach the High-Grade Divine Artifact standard)]
[Special mark: Primordial World ancient forging, the craft has been lost for more than ten thousand years]
Blood Scorpion came over and took a look. He didn't quite understand it, but he recognized the four words "High-Grade Divine Artifact".
He slowly turned to Lin Feng with complicated eyes:
"Master... this broken piece of iron... is High-Grade Divine Artifact...?"
"The best piece of scrap." Lin Feng took the data screen and looked at it, then put it down casually, "It's not finished yet."
Cang Xuan tried his best to steady himself and continued:
"The so-called Primordial World Ancient Resonance, in Primordial Chaos World, is an extremely rare special attribute, which means that the artifacts contain energy imprints from an older, higher-level universe. This imprint cannot be artificially refined or forged. It is a true rarity that is hundreds of millions of years old."
"Even if there is even a hint of Primordial World Ancient Resonance in the artifact, it will trigger a rush at any auction."
Cang Xuan raised his head, his voice already somewhat uncontrollable:
"And there are a total of eleven items on your table, each containing Primordial World Ancient Resonance. The purity is so high that I have only seen it in my life. Even these scraped utensil embryos, based on the current market price, I conservatively estimate -"
He paused, took a deep breath, and reported a number.
"The total value is no less than 300,000 Supreme-Grade Purple Crystal."
The whole place was completely silent.
Blood Scorpion's mouth slowly opened and closed again. His lips moved but no sound came out.
Old Wang's one arm trembled slightly, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes, as if digesting the number.
Ten thousand coins can buy half of Flowing Cloud City.
Three hundred thousand...
Cang Xuan looked at Lin Feng, and on that old face that had experienced countless things and had seen countless treasures, there were two words written on it at the moment: confusion.
He lowered his voice and couldn't help asking the question:
"Dear guest... where are you from?"
Lin Feng put the finished spiritual peel on the table, clapped his hands, stood up, and gave Cang Xuan a sincere answer:
"Heaven-Blasting Gang Leader."
Cang Xuan:"..."
In the hall downstairs, the news somehow leaked out. A large number of people had quietly poured in, tiptoeing to look at the appraisal room on the second floor, waiting for the final news.
Then, they heard Cang Xuan's gaffeful appraisal conclusion, which penetrated the entire floor and spread throughout the entire hall.
"The total value! Not less than! Three hundred thousand Supreme-Grade Purple Crystal!!!"
Myriad Treasures Tower, boiling.
Lin Feng stood in the commotion, lowered his head and looked at the eleven pieces of broken slag, remembering the scene when Primordial World threw them into the scrap box when he was refining the weapon, and silently did the math.
There are still seventy or eighty items in the scrap box.
He raised his head and asked Cang Xuan:
"Do you have any long-term cooperation channels here that specialize in collecting antiques?"
Cang Xuan stood up tremblingly, bent down, and spoke in an extremely sincere voice:
"Dear guest, we, Myriad Treasures Tower, are willing to cooperate exclusively with you for a long time with the highest standards."
Myriad Treasures Tower boiled for a full quarter of an hour.
The news flowed out from the appraisal room on the second floor faster than Lin Feng changed his position and sat down. Half of the people in Flowing Cloud City heard about it: there was a young man of unknown origin carrying a bag of "slag waste" "When I walked into Myriad Treasures Tower, I was personally priced at 300,000 Supreme-Grade Purple Crystal by the first appraiser Cang Xuan. Each piece contained Primordial World Ancient Resonance, and each piece was an antique artifact.
In the lobby on the first floor, Rogue Cultivator and the merchants, who were originally just here for routine transactions, were now crowded at the entrance of the stairs, looking around on tiptoe, and the discussion was like boiling water.
Someone took a breath. "Three hundred thousand? That's enough to buy three main roads in Flowing Cloud City."
Someone lowered his voice. "Who is this person from? Which major sect is he from?"
There were also people, with different purposes, starting to walk to the second floor.
