Room Yi-137 was located toward the back of the Appraisal Hall. It was not only more spacious than the C-numbered rooms, but also contained a large bamboo-and-wood bed, a recliner, and a table with a full tea set. With a single call, an attendant would come in at once to brew tea and pour water.

It was an arcane incense specially prepared by the Appraisal Hall to steady an appraiser's mind and restore his spirit while appraising treasures.
Each stick was as thick as a thumb and seven inches long. It could burn for two hours and was worth around half a tael of silver.
Besides the Spirit-Calming Incense, square banners had been arranged around the room to form a small Five-Element Banner Formation, said to ward off Baleful Intent and protect its user.

Chen Shaojun directly used the Divine Gaze Technique.

Before long, the Killing Intent had been completely dispersed.
The Spirit-Seeking Treasure Mirror emerged, tracing the roots to seek the source, judging its grade and determining its rank.
Lower Dharma Grade.
Reward: Invisibility Talisman.
Once activated, it could directly conceal the body, leaving no trace
