"What are you standing around for, you old fool? Hurry up and appraise it!"
Seeing Gu Ni's ignorant expression, Qi Yan'er immediately urged him impatiently.
"Alright! Alright!"
Gu Ni swallowed hard and tremblingly accepted the "ordinary" Small Porcelain Bottle from Ya Fei. Excited, he said,
"To be fortunate enough to appraise the grade of this medicinal liquid is the honor of this old man's lifetime!"
"Hurry up! Can you even do it? If you can't, then I won't auction it off!"
Qi Yan'er planted her hands on her little waist, her childish face full of anger.
"Alright! This old man will begin right away."
Gu Ni smiled awkwardly, then held the Small Porcelain Bottle before his nose and gave it a light sniff.
"It smells so good~"
"Sister Ya Fei, I'm not selling this medicinal liquid anymore!"
Seeing Gu Ni still dawdling, Qi Yan'er raised her little head and declared angrily.
"Don't!"
Upon hearing that, Gu Ni forced a pained smile onto his old face.
"Miss Yan'er, you don't know that the first step in appraising medicinal pills is to smell them."
After saying that, Gu Ni hurriedly opened the bottle.
As he tilted it, a tiny drop of milky-white liquid slowly rolled out and hovered above Gu Ni's palm.
Staring fixedly at the milky-white liquid, Gu Ni had already drawn in a cold breath and thought,
After being an alchemist for so long, this is the first time I've ever seen milky-white medicinal liquid!
Gu Ni had wanted very badly to say those words aloud, but he no longer dared to.
Feeling Qi Yan'er's gaze fixed on him, Gu Ni realized that this old man was actually afraid of a little girl like her!
Gu Ni extended two fingers and pinched them together. A silver needle appeared between them.
